When you think of adventure, Himalayas come to mind. Himalayas offer activities like trekking, rafting, paragliding, camping and motorbike expeditions.
 

There is nothing more thrilling than a motorbike expedition through the untouched mountain roads. With our Ganga Motorbike Expedition, spearheaded by our Motorbike Guru Manish Chachra, we bring you a seven day tour that will take you on the route that the tributaries of the Holy Ganges take to come down to Rishikesh from their respective sources to form the mighty Ganges River. Along the way, there is spiritualism and perhaps those elusive “Nirvana” moments as well.
 

The Ganga Motorbike Expedition is ideal for those just beginning their motorbike journeys in the Himalayas. The route is comfortable, picturesque and relatively less explored. You start this adventurous bike trip from the quaint hill town of Dehradun in Uttarakhand and over the course of 7 days, pass through the villages and towns of Mori, Harsil, New Tehri, finally reaching Rishikesh, where you end this motorbike expedition with a fun-filled rafting session.           
 

In short, a truly spectacular tour through pristine vales, away from the touristy places and off the beaten motorcycle trail!
