Bike, Trike & Motorbike Rajasthan

Rajasthan is one of India's most captivating states, famed for its Rajput forts and palaces, desert villages, spice markets and the warmth of its people. However the deserved popularity of Rajasthan’s key sights sometimes leaves scant room for a sense of adventure. Traveling by auto rickshaw is the perfect antidote to this and our back-road discovery takes us through barren desert and lush oases to remote villages where traditional Rajasthani life continues untouched by the outside world, as it has done for centuries. The second run of this epic journey is set to be a cracker. After congregating in Delhi you’ll be whisked (maybe that should be rattled) by train, deep into the desert to Bikaner. Here you’ll alight and transfer to the beautiful oasis of Gajner Palace, where you’ll set about learning to tame our three-wheeled beasts. After some instruction and a crucial practice and instruction ride, there willl be time to pimp yo’ ride before a grand dinner to send us on our way. From here we set out on a truly Indian journey which effortlessly combines the beautiful and the bizarre. Our route begins amidst desert and dunes and ends 600km later in the lush Araveli hills, passing by rat and motorbike temples, goats and holy cows, and of course, chai stalls. Our ride ends at Kumbalgarh, where we’ll have chance to celebrate, but also time to visit the community and see some of the amazing work being done using Virgin funding.
