Request modest denominations of change when exchanging money because bigger note change is difficult to get outside of major cities.

What to expect from this expedition

Bike tours itinerary designed with lots of care and keeping the human limitation in mind. We would not be riding for excessive amount of time, expect to ride for 6 to 8 hr with proper breaks in Between. Biking tours required you to be mentally fit enough to undertake hours of journey. Ability to make right decision during the long days of riding (Not more than 8 Hr) is essential to keep any Motorbike tour safe and sound, although you will be accompanied by Guide, backup vehicle and even a backup rider in case if you need some rest during the ride. We run the trip with low number of people to ensure the great serine experience and hassle free journey. During the trip we would be riding through lots of twists and turn, so prior experience in riding similar terrain can be very useful.

Note on Itin­er­ary: Each day we will try to have some free time so one is not always on a guided tour. While we often eat meals together, they will not be pre-arranged which will allow us the flexibility to eat at local establishments or at more preferred hours. Hotels are subject to change. Although we do our very best to fol­low the sched­ule list­ed, this itin­er­ary is sub­ject to change due to inclement weath­er, unsafe route con­di­tions, or oth­er rea­sons beyond our con­trol and in the guide’s best judgement.

Private Expedition

We believe any expedition or tour is the ideal setting for making new acquaintances and lasting relationships, but in particular circumstances, a privately led trip is required. Pahadi Bakra has organised private expeditions, trips, and journeys to almost all regions of the nation during the previous ten years. A private tour is a fantastic opportunity to personalise your experience and keep team sizes to a manageable number. 

This option is ideal for anybody who has a certain start date, needs a custom itinerary, or unique trip extras, or needs a lengthier itinerary to give themselves more time to acclimatise. It’s also great for filmmakers and non-profit fundraising trips.

If you would like more information on the above please contact Swapnil Rachelwar directly to help you plan your next travel experience.
