Authentic Expeditions For The Adventurer In You

Motorcycle Tours India and Vietnam

Our India motorcycle tours cross Ladakh, Zanskar, the Sach Pass and Rajasthan, and the Ha Giang Loop covers North Vietnam. South India is the one trip on four wheels: the Deccan Traverse, a self-drive 4x4 safari from Chennai to Goa. Small groups, screened riders, since 2017. For a first motorcycle tour, India is a demanding place to start, so each route is graded by difficulty. The Himalayan routes are a Royal Enfield tour of India in the old sense: these are the roads the bike grew up on. British riders call these motorbike tours of India, Indian riders call them bike tours in India, and the roads answer to both. If you think of them as motorcycle holidays in India, the holiday is the part after the bikes are parked.

India  |  June – September
The Cliffhanger Run
Duration: 14 Days

Sach Pass doesn't ask philosophical questions — it is the philosophical question. Snow in July, landslides as morning greetings. A route so committed to the concept of edge that guardrails would be redundant.

Riders paused on a narrow jungle track in North Vietnam — Ha Giang Loop tour, Outriders Co.
All Levels
Vietnam  |  Oct – Nov, Mar – Apr
Ha Giang Loop Protocol
Duration: 14 Days
Difficulty: Intermediate
Profile: Veterans // Women's Groups // First-Timer Appropriate
North Vietnam's Ha Giang Loop operates on its own physics. Rice terraces that defy both logic and erosion. Corners so tight they fold back on themselves like spatial origami.

Women Only
India  |  November – December
Thar Maharani
Duration: 14 Days

Profile: Women Only // All-Women Squad // Women-Rider Crew
Rajasthan doesn't do understatement. Forts the size of towns, lake palaces, tiger country and dunes at the desert's edge — a women-only ride through the Land of Kings, where everything is negotiable except the chai.

What Our Riders Say
Riding Into Adventure
★★★★★
"I first joined the Outriders Co. in Feb 2017, my first time in India - I was hooked immediately. Everything about the trip is fulfilling, exciting and like nothing you may have seen - all rolled into one. One of the most important things in a tour situation is that you all become friends and gel as a team - I can't speak highly enough of the efforts to create the foundations for that, which in turn make that experience 'effortless'. Riding is geared to give everyone a rounded experience, with all the necessary support and safety; and cruising through India on a Royal Enfield really is something to behold - sights, smells and local celebrity status!"

"Had the trip of a life time, can't recommend these guys enough, can't wait to get back out there and see more of this amazingly beautiful country."

"My husband went on the India tour in 2017 all around south India, the Taj Mahal was great to see, the tour guides were brilliant and helped out with all their needs and took them to many wonderful places. A truly amazing trip and definitely unforgettable."
