About this retreat

This 10-day guided motorcycle tour from Delhi takes intermediate riders deep into India's Himalayan landscape aboard a rented Royal Enfield, covering 1,165 kilometres of asphalt and off-road terrain through Himachal Pradesh and Spiti Valley. Your journey begins with airport pickup at Indira Gandhi International Airport and a transfer to your Delhi hotel. On day two, a private minibus carries you to Shimla, where you meet your bike and team over refreshments amid pine and cedar forest. The riding adventure unfolds along the Hindustan-Tibet Highway toward Sarahan and Kalpa, where ancient temples and apple orchards sit beneath the Kinner Kailash peaks. A 24/7 support team follows in a 4x4 backup vehicle, and an experienced road captain leads every stage. Spiti Valley brings the tour's highest moments. You ride to Komic, one of the world's highest motorable villages, post a card from Hikkim's legendary post office, and visit centuries-old monasteries at Tabo, Dhankar, and Ki. Wildlife sightings are possible around Kibber and Langza. A night at a safari-style camp near the crescent-shaped Chandrataal Lake offers star-filled skies after crossing Kunzum Pass. The route then continues through the Rohtang Atal Tunnel, the longest high-altitude tunnel on the planet, descending to Manali for a leisurely final day. Nine nights of accommodation span three- and four-star boutique hotels and one night under canvas. Buffet breakfast and dinner are included daily, with water provided and both vegetarian and regular menus available. Groups range from four to ten riders, with instruction in English and French support. Your guide, Sandy, grew up in the Himalayan foothills and has spent a decade leading travellers through these mountains. His local knowledge and genuine passion for the region turn every pass, monastery, and riverside village into a story you'll carry home long after the engine cools.
