Advice needed on indian tour company
Hi,
My mate and I are in the process of booking a tour with a company called Indian motorcycle tours/Aboriginal tours. They are based out in India and are running a tour called 'Himalayan grand circuit' 21 nights from 6th July.
I was just wondering if anyone had experience of this company, any info would be appreciated before I start sending money.
Cheers Martin

himalayan tour
Hello mark, thanks for looking, the address is

Indian Motorcycle Tours | Royal Enfield Adventures| in the Himalayas (Spiti, Kinnaur, Ladakh) & Rajasthan on Latest Model Motorcycles Bullet Rental Hire New Delhi Manali Leh Shimla Moto Tours Inde Voyage Moto Inde Motorradtouren Indien Motorradreisen and its got a tag of Aboriginal tours. The one we were looking at is the himalayan grand circuit.
I have been unable to find many reviews of their tours, thought a shout out here was a good place to start.

Experience on Royal Enfield Tour
Hi:
I haven't used that particular company. I did use Blazing Trails. The owner Suzie , a British lady lived in India for years,. They have operated out of India for years, had good reviews and also offered a Nepal trip. I also used them for a South African Tour. Hoping to go back in 2016.
Good Company, good people, trips have a support truck with a dedicated maintenance support team and their own Paramedic.
The Himalayas are a bit awkward to get injured at. Like any other insurance worth having when needed

I am not affiliated with the company other than a satisfied customer.

Cheers: Pete

Hello Martin,

I did a similar trip last August with this company operating out of Montreal, Canada.

https://www.traditours.com/departs/i...de-moto-qc.php

Sorry for the french, but I had a whale of a time riding through the cities and in the mountains. Just keep your eyes (and ears) open because the driving is chaotic at best. Remember being on a motorcycle, your the low man on the totem pole.
Food and people were great and the hotels we had were top notch. The most fun was sleeping in the tents.
I would strongly advise to dress in layers as the temperature ranges vary greatly from valleys to mountains. Also, going in July, you will be on the trailing edge of the rainy season. Rain gear will be a must.
Some people were to-up on their Enfeilds and the pillions had a really hard time with the roads. Mid-way through the trip, the tour operator decided to hire a taxi to drive the pillions as they had had enough of it all.

Himalayan Tour on Royal Enfield Bike
Hello Martin


I don't heard about the company for motorcycle tour in India. But i did motorbike tour to Himalaya with India World Travel in 2013. This company have more than 10 years of experience in organizing motorbike tours to Himalaya, Rajasthan, South India and many others parts of India.

They have best dedicated support team and have lots of awards and certification from Indian Tourism for their quality services.

NEVERMIND ADVENTURES looks good. The fact that a lot of their late 2017 tours are already sold out says something.

I wanted a company that let you arrange you own bike hire (I.E. if you want a HIMALAYAN) so i used I AM ADVENTURE in Delhi for a trip to Leh. Great people and i'd use them again.
