Why go on a motorcycle road trip?
To experience incredible destinations in a whole new way
A motorcycle road trip immerses you in the world in a way that simply cannot be replicated with any other mode of travel. The sights, the smells, the sensations, take on an entirely different form behind the handlebars of a Royal Enfield. You blend into the dynamic dance of life, moving with ease in and out of areas where no tour buses would dare to tread, while simultaneously drawing looks of admiration due to the gorgeous classic motorcycle styling. We ensure that you don’t miss any of the must-see attractions, but we also take great pride in introducing you to the “hidden gems”: less frequented tracks, quiet corners, and perfect views that can only come from deep local knowledge. In our experience, this is the ideal way to unearth the authentic character of a country or region. Whether you opt for a Luxury Tour, a Motorcycle Ramble, or an Adventure Tour, you will find that a motorbike road trip is an experience like no other.
To expand your horizons
All of our road trips on motorcycles are designed to combine the pleasure of riding with time to explore off the bike by guiding you along the most beautiful roads in the region. Each tailor-made itinerary is meticulously planned by our expert local guides and our incredible motorcycle travel production team. Each and every Royal Enfield motorcycle road trip we craft is carefully balanced to allow ample time for the exhilarating challenges of off-road exploration and the pure joy of riding on beautiful winding roads.
To experience the human side of adventure
Choosing to embark on a motorbike road trip means immersing yourself in the heart of exceptional landscapes and experiencing the challenges and joys of life in the saddle. But the most memorable parts of a journey are often those moments that cannot be plotted in a GPS or traced on a map. They are about sharing a human adventure by opening yourself up to fascinating people from all walks of life and sharing these moments with other passionate riders. It is about the smell of fruit plantation, or the roar of a waterfall, or a view so stunning that your mind reels in an attempt to retain every impeccable detail. You are welcomed into this family built upon the biker spirit, and life on the road serves to build unbreakable solidarity between those few intrepid souls with whom you have shared these experiences. The cornerstone of this motorcycle road trip brotherhood is your iconic Royal Enfield, with its retro styling and distinct engine purr identifying you as part of an elite group of two-wheeled adventurers.
The 5 most beautiful motorcycle road trips in the world, according to Vintage Rides:
India on a motorbike
Riding a motorcycle in India is a bucket list adventure for all Royal Enfield lovers. During an organized road trip on a motorcycle, we take you off the beaten tracks for a true immersion in the heart of an authentic India. From Rajasthan to the highest passes in the world in the Himalayas, from the hidden trails of Madhya Pradesh to beautiful roads of Kerala, from Uttarkhand to Goa, India by motorbike is much more than a motorbike road trip. It is an experience that leaves a lasting impression and which makes you want to go back again and again to discover every beautiful corner of the immense Indian subcontinent.
Discover Peru
What if we told you that you could explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas, visit Machu Picchu, and reach Lake Titicaca, all during a motorcycle road trip aboard a Royal Enfield? From all the iconic sites to the stunning hidden gems, along breathtaking routes that will carry you from the Altiplano to the Amazon, you will be introduced to the pure magic of Peru.
Explore the Mustang by motorcycle
Departing from Kathmandu, we cross the Terai region and explore Chitwan National Park before joining the Mustang Trails along the Kali Gandaki River. At the foot of Annapurna, discover Nepal in depth, meeting the different indigenous communities who have preserved their traditions and customs for centuries. The highlight of a motorcycle road trip in Mustang: you will make your way up the steep slopes of this mythical valley to Lo Mantang, at the gateway to Tibet!
Otherworldly adventures in Tanzania
If you’re ready for an incredible adventure, there is nothing quite like a motorbike road trip in East Africa. Ride the hills in the heart of the African savannah, marvel at one of the world’s highest peaks from the base of Kilimanjaro, discover Lake Natron and meet the Maasai people. Leave your bikes and climb into a jeep for a safari in the Ngorongoro crater to observe wildlife and the famous Big Five.
Escape on a motorbike in Mongolia
Are you ready for a motorcycle road trip in a land of untamed beauty? With its endless plains and unbelievably blue skies, we invite you to join us to breathe the air of freedom! There is nothing in the world quite like experiencing the wild steppes of Mongolia from the saddle of a Royal Enfield motorcycle.
