We begin our journey in the direction of Shekhawati, a region famous for its majestic Haveli. First, we leave Delhi by private vehicle to pick up our motorcycles at the starting point of our ride. We then enter the "Land of Kings" by small country roads, immersing us in rural nature from the very first rotations of our wheels.

9/13 • Chittorgarh - Bundi
Today we ride to Bundi, a small secluded town with a charming Indian atmosphere. Its fort and palace are famous for their murals, considered the finest in Rajasthan. We set off on the motorcyclists' perfect highway: beautiful, smooth and clean roads, devoid of traffic.

10/13 • Bundi - Ranthambore
We set off on our motorcycles towards Ranthambore National Park. But before that, we will have to endure inevitable worn-out roads on the first third of the stage. In the late afternoon we take a jeep safari deep into the heart of India's wild lands, full of crocodiles, birds, sambars, and monkeys. If we're lucky, we may catch sight of the star of the region, the mighty tiger.

11/13 • Ranthambore - Jaipur
We leave Ranthambore in the morning and head to the mythical "Pink City": Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan. This city is known for its wonderful variety of crafts, so we will take time to wander and do a little shopping. Today we will keep a brisk pace on well-maintained highways with sparse traffic, reaching Jaipur in the middle of the afternoon.

12/13 • Jaipur - Alwar
It's our last day on the bikes. In the morning we visit the impressive Amber Fort, located a few miles north of Jaipur, which is a truly fantastic way to end this tour! Then, we take our Royal Enfields on the narrow, sometimes mountainous roads to Alwar Fort.
