If you have shuttered the sub-continent in lieu of more acknowledged and established motorcycling destinations, we think you should take a second look at India. We have! For the inquisitive "Westerner", there is not a more distant, exotic and worthy land to explore that confirms the beautiful diversity of our planet.
Rajasthan is a region of India referred to as the "Land of Kings", situated south-east of Delhi, on the edge of the Thar Desert; home of proud Rajput warriors and seat of the mighty Mogul Empire. India at its exotic best! This deluxe desert-palace tour takes us through back roads to seldom seen castles converted to luxury hotels, often hosted by descendents of those who once claimed princely reign over the kingdoms of Rajasthan. To establish a rhythm with the environment, riding the venerable Royal Enfield Bullet will not deter, but add to the experience.
Highlights
- Your accommodations. Rarely does a tour offer such exciting lodging. When and where possible, MotoDiscovery has selected numerous palaces converted to near-decadent hotels. Luxury ... Raja style!
- Numerous havelies, or desert castles and fortresses, intricately carved sandstone buildings will be explored, and in some cases, serve as your overnight stays.
- The ride. Through villages of the Rajasthani outback, riders will encounter the natives of this land.
