South India Tour

TROPICAL SOUTH - INDIA TOURS

Tropical South India and Royal Enfield Motorcycles... we bring these two worlds together to create a Biker’s adventure, so much different from anything you have ever done in your Biker’s life !

If you have spent already 30 seasons in the saddle of your bike or if you are holding a “biking”- license since last year , you will deeply enjoy this ride, as long as your heart is young and your mind is free.

For your security : we have organized more than 135 bike -tours in India during the last 13 years. Our European crew, all seasoned bikers and old “India hands”, will take care of you...

Trust your CLASSIC BIKE ADVENTURE - ”Road Captains” !

The Highlights:

• Hampi, the ruins of 1000 temples, remains of the forgotten Hindu - Metropolis of the Vijayanagar Kingdom near Hospet, 2 nights stay at at the famous Kishkanda Heritage Resort.
   
• On unexplored Konkan coast riding up to Tarkali Beach and the Malvan Fort in the sea.
   
• The holy cave temples of Badami and the Unesco World Heritage Temples
   
• White Water Rafting on mighty Kali River through the lush, pristine Jungles of the Western Ghats.
   
• Elephant riding into the jungle, mystic Hindu temples, wild monkeys and crocodiles at your doorsteps…
   
• Discover "Paradise Beach" on the Arabian Sea, without telling anybody how to get there! Two nights in Paradise...
   
• Endless curves and mountain roads, palm fringed alleys, and to spice it up, "road madness" on Indian highways too….

For whom we have created this program:

• If you enjoy riding real classic motorbikes,
   
• If you do not mind spending long dusty days in the saddle and on the roads,
   
• If you do not need ”modern luxuries”, to enjoy the freedom cruising "down the roads”,
   
• If you love to relax and loaf around on tropical beaches, but not every day of your holidays,
   
• If you are open for new experiences, to meet interesting people and discover lots of unknown and unusual ways of live, traditions & culture,....
   
• If you agree, than you are the right person to join us.
  
  Be there, when adventure calls you out into the wild world of Tropical South India !
