Motorcycle Tour in India from Canada

Seven of us just completed a customized 16 day motorcycle and 3 day sight seeing tour of the Indian Himalayas and New Delhi area with Raj as our ride Guide.

Planning started in 2019 for a 2020 trip but Covid cancelled that unfortunately. Planning started again in 2022 for a 2023 ride but we couldn’t get enough riders till June 2024.

Throughout that time Raj answered all of my questions promptly with helpful information (there must have been 500+ emails!). Raj was very patient and helpful in planning a customized tour for our group.

Raj also arranged converting our Canadian $ to Indian Rupees when we arrived at the hotel for a great rate (60:1 versus 55:1).

From the moment we arrived at the Delhi airport to the moment we left , Raj and his team took good care of us!

Every step of the way a team member was there to answer our questions and provide in person support. This was the first guided motorcycle trip most of us had been on.

We arrived a day before the ride started so Raj arranged a tour in New Delhi, we were picked up in a comfortable air conditioned van and had a great guide and driver. After the initial tour was finished the guide took us for a coffee/snack and then showed us more areas of interest for no additional charge!

Then we took. 4.5 hour train ride and then a 3 hour van ride to where the ride would start.

We met Raj and his team (Akash, mechanic and Lamu, driver) at a comfortable hotel.

Raj surprised the group by having 2 of the new Himalayan 450cc model motorcycles (not available in North America yet). He had ordered 5 but there was limited stock so only 2 arrived.

I rode both the 411 and the 450 and the 450 is definitely my choice!

Every day was a new adventure of sights, people, experiences, challenges and fun!

The accommodations were diverse, unique and comfortable and also included 2 nights in tents.

The food was plentiful and tasty!

Raj and his team were very attentive and understanding of our needs and wishes.

I’ve done road and adventure riding in western Canada, the western US and many times in Mexico (I have a bike stored there) and this ride has far surpassed anything I’ve experienced on any other ride times a factor of 100!!!!

When we finished the ride we had two more days of tours from New Delhi arranged and those went very well! Again the guide for the Taj tour said we could do other tours afterwards if we wanted as we had him and the driver for the whole day!

Everyone must do a bicycle tour of Old Delhi, it is something you will never forget!!

Myself and the group were very impressed with Raj and the Brahmand Tours team and we look forward to coming back for another thrilling and memorable experience!

Thanks Team Bramhand!

My experience with Brahmand Tour was great from our first email to the end of ths trip. They created a trip based on my time line and other circumstances. I found the trip incredibly organized. Staff were skilled and my wellbeing was important.

There were no problems on my 8 day trip and if there were I believe they would be well managed. I found the scenery impressive and roads thrilling. I recommend traveling by motorbike and using this company.

There is no better way to experience India than on a motorcycle. Our tour leader, Vivek was simply amazing. He provided great insight into the local culture and was very patient in explaining the nuances of Indian culture. He was a very safe rider and we ended the trip with no safety issues. We also had a great motorcycle mechanic and a safe driver with the chase vehicle. The bike was a Royal Enfield Himalayan, which was in excellent mechanical condition. No issues with the Bike. Mechanic made sure to get it prepped each day. Overall experience: Excellent ! Will join Brahmand organized tour again.

Lessons: 3 star hotels are just about right. Not all of them are the same though. Make sure before check in to inquire if the hotel has a/c if during hot season and Heater during cold season. Also, strip the bedsheets to make sure there are no bed bugs. One of these hotels got me :-(. No fault of Brahmand but best for us travelers to be aware of this.. any where we go.
