There’s nothing quite like discovering India on two wheels—the thrill of the open road, the ever-shifting scenery, and the pure sense of freedom. From the majestic Himalayas to the golden sands of Rajasthan and the stunning salt flats of Gujarat to Mumbai’s coastal allure, this 12-day epic biking adventure promises the ride of a lifetime. So, gear up, rev that engine, and let’s hit the road.

Day 1-2: Delhi to Manali

Start your ride from Delhi and cruise along bustling highways towards the serene town of Manali. Passing through Chandigarh, Mandi, and Kullu, the journey treats you to winding roads, lush valleys, and breathtaking river views. Once in Old Manali, indulge in delicious trout, soak in the local music scene, and prepare for the Himalayan leg of your adventure.

Day 3-4: Manali to Leh

The legendary Manali-Leh Highway is every biker’s dream. This route challenges your skills as you navigate Rohtang Pass, Baralacha La, and Tanglang La, with the thrilling Gata Loops adding to the excitement. After a night in Sarchu, continue your ride to Leh, where you can reward yourself with a comforting cup of hot butter tea upon arrival.

Day 5-6: Leh

Let your bike rest while you explore Leh’s monasteries, Magnetic Hill, and the stunning Shanti Stupa. If you’re up for more adventure, take a quick ride to Khardung La, one of the world’s highest motorable passes, and embrace the breathtaking views.

Day 7-8: Leh to Jaisalmer

Time to leave the mountains behind! Transport your bike via flight to Jaipur and ride westward to Jaisalmer, passing through the arid beauty of Rajasthan. Experience the mystical Sam Sand Dunes, where you can swap your bike for a camel and spend the night camping beneath a starlit desert sky.

Day 9: Jaisalmer to Rann of Kutch

Embark on a long yet scenic ride from Jaisalmer to the Rann of Kutch, where vast, shimmering salt flats stretch endlessly in every direction. A sunset ride across this surreal landscape is nothing short of magical, offering a rare, otherworldly biking experience.

Day 10-11: Rann to Ahmedabad
Rather than heading straight to Mumbai, pause in Ahmedabad to soak in Gujarat’s rich culture. Ride through Bhuj and Kutch’s vibrant villages, savor a traditional Gujarati thali, and visit the historic Sabarmati Ashram before calling it a day.

Day 12: Ahmedabad to Mumbai

The last leg of your journey takes you through Vadodara and Surat as you head towards Mumbai. As you cross into Maharashtra, you’ll soon find yourself cruising along Marine Drive, celebrating the completion of your epic journey with a steaming cup of cutting chai by the sea.
