Motorcycle expeditions aren’t gentle tourism. Before we confirm any booking, we have a conversation. It’s how we build squads that work, not tour groups.
We screen for attitude, not credentials. Not everyone is an Outrider. That’s not judgment; it’s fit.
Another Amazing trip and adventures with Rajeev and his team riding 10 of the worlds highest motorable mountain passes, a great way to see the majestic Himalayan mountains and experience the mind blowing vastness and natural landscape.
This is my second trip with them, each trip has been just awesome, I am looking forward to more more riding adventures with this company exploring and experiencing the hospitality and culture of India. Rajeev and his team go the extra mile to ensure you are looked after and want to come back again.
For years it is a dream and then….it is really happening. If you’ve ever had a yearning to experience India, really raw, wild, mountainous India, from the freedom and happiness a Royal Enfield provides….read on.
Rajeev and his expert team organised, supported and guided the tour. Their knowledge and experience means all the hard work is done for you and all that is left for you to do is enjoy and absorb. Top of the range Royal Enfield bikes (all matching, nice touch!) back up vehicles loaded with spares and mechanics, mean a worry-free trip of a lifetime. It is hard to describe the madness, beauty, chaos and majesty of Northern India so…just do it!!
Rajeev was the leader of our trip to the 12 high passes in Kashmir and Ladakh. These trips are not easy, apart from planning the route, accommodation, meals and fuel getting from A to B often needs particular skills. Rajeev has these in abundance, as an example, our way through a tunnel was blocked, waiting time about 6 hours, Rajeev managed to persuade local police I was an Air Marshal (thank you for the field promotion) and needed to get to B right away. Could he have permission to go on the other carriageway, against the flow of traffic. Permission was immediately granted.
He has encyclopedic knowledge of all areas of India, shortcuts, deviations to see a particular stunning view, the local people and their customs, local food all this is at his fingertips.
Went on tour of Spiti Valley with Rajeev and his team in Sept 22 started in Delhi and travelling up to 14,800ft into the Himalayas following the valley. 13 days trip with 11days on the bike. Enjoyed every minute on/off the bike. Learnt a lot about India with 2 very experienced guides and the scenery was stunning.

We are a stubborn, battle-tested crew; the buffer between you and the chaos. We believe that ‘Roughing It’ is a state of mind, not a requirement for your hotel room. We know the difference between a broken bike and a spiritual crisis, and we carry the tools to fix both. Our mechanics speak fluent EFI, and our support crew makes sure the only thing you worry about is the view.
Chief architect of organized chaos, he can be found at dawn having philosophical conversations with Royal Enfields about their existential purpose. Has the uncanny ability to remain calm while everything around him disintegrates into pandemonium. Walking encyclopedia of local culture and history.
Leads all-women motorcycle battalions through Ladakh like it’s a particularly challenging dance routine at 14,000 feet, which, technically, it is. Lives in India’s paragliding capital, where one can find her teaching bachata moves or painting wall art at local cafes, when she is not on the road.
Knows every back road, rickety bridge, and mud-slicked track in North Vietnam like they’re old friends who owe him money. Cool as Vietnamese iced coffee, he operates on a frequency of calm that suggests either deep enlightenment or complete acceptance. If the road exists, Tran knows it, if not, then Tran knows the cave shortcut.
