Road trips in India

Prepare to be enthralled by the vibrancy and diversity of India!

India is both massive in physical size and population. That combination creates one of the most diverse countries in the world, with immense differences in cultures, spoken languages, geography, and more. This can make travel in India overwhelming, but also captivating! Immersing yourself in this vast array of culture and people cannot be done any better than on two wheels, and Planet Ride offers almost every option imaginable. Whether you want specific geography, like Himalayan motorbike tours, a specific culture, such as the tea plantations of Kerala, or even to ride a specific make of vintage motorcycle, like on our Royal Enfield tours, we have found nothing but the best guides to match you with!

Other Need-to-Know Information about India

India offers diverse, and nearly endless, excitement. From the holy places of Both Gaya and Ellora, to the beaches of Goa, or from the Golden Temple to the Taj Mahal, there are amazing sights around every turn. The natural beauty throughout the country, ancient temples everywhere, and unique cities with a foreign flair like Pondicherry and Goa will make any India bike trip unforgettable.

It would be impossible to provide every detail of India’s climate in this short space, but there a few general rules that apply to most or all of the country. First, there are three main seasons – summer (April and May), winter (November to January), and the monsoons. The far northeastern areas of the country receive the highest rainfall in the world, as they are subject to both the southwest and northeast monsoons during the rainy season. Ultimately, the brief “spring” months of February and March, and into the start of summer, might be your best time to travel.

For arrival in India, there are four main international airports – Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and Kolkata. Other major points of entry include Hyderabad and Kochi, and secondary entry points include Gaya, Goa, Patna, Pune, and others. You are most likely to arrive by plane, but cars, buses, and boats are also popular options. There are small number of train routes that allow entry into India, but they are not necessarily the most reliable. Once in the country, however, trains are an excellent way to get around. Planes are another great option, but buses are limited to intra-state travel.

India offers a number of different visas, such as e-Visas, visas-on-arrival, various tourist/business/student visa, select 10-year visas, and others. Be sure to double check the requirements based on your nationality and the intent of your trip! It is also important to note that Indian visas are valid from the day they are issued, not the day you enter the country.
