Overview

Motorcycle Getaways is a premier adventure touring company in India offering guided motorcycle tours to the most exotic destinations in the subcontinent — the Himalayas, Rajasthan and South India.

Who are we?

Motorcycle Getaways is a brainchild of like-minded adventurers who have explored various parts of the subcontinent astride their Royal Enfield Motorcycles. Having clocked many miles over diverse terrains — be it the coasts, plains, deserts, jungles or mountains - we have an unparalleled knowledge of India's rich cultural heritage, her vernacular diversity, religious customs and etiquettes, that are of paramount importance to any tourist looking at delving into the inscrutable Indian heart.

As young Indian soul-searchers (also called explorers), we, have not only been to those places of tourist interest, but also, to those roads less travelled, mixing into the lives of the magnanimous rural folk — those we dread to call 'poor'!
