For this trip we use Royal Enfield Classic 500cc motorcycles.
Level of difficulty for this tour
During this tour we do not travel at high altitudes nor do we meet with extreme weather conditions. It is a journey through the desert province of India and therefore temperatures can rise considerably. We ride the entire route on paved roads, mostly well asphalted but sometimes the condition of the asphalt is less good. So we do not ride on dirt roads. The distances are quite long on two of the days and that, in combination with heat and drought, can be pretty tough.
Traffic
Traffic in Rajasthan province is relatively calm compared to the big cities. On the main roads you find that buses and trucks will drive as fast as possible and that can cause dangerous situations. This is why, for the busier parts of the tour, we choose the province's small back roads.
Hotels
Overnight stays are, as much as possible, in special accommodations. We sleep several times in palaces still in current use by the Maharajas and several nights are spent in the stately homes of elderly wealthy merchants. For two nights we sleep in luxury safari tents in the desert.
Clothing
Mandatory are a motorcycle helmet with protective gloves a good strong pair of motorcycle trousers with protection and sturdy high (mountain) boots. Because of the wide variations in temperature it may be convenient to wear a motorcycle jacket with a removable liner. Also very useful is a good pair of summer gloves. Furthermore, a good pair of sunglasses is very useful, as well as a helmet with visor that protects against dust. If your motorcycle clothing is not waterproof, it is advisable to carry a separate rain suit.
Visa
You can now apply for a visa for India online. You will get more information about this after registration.
