about us - our philosophy
Riding slooow
Why we ride
As travellers we want to experience everyday life as it feels for common people in our guest country. The truth is: everybody moves on two-wheelers! So we simply shove motorbikes under our buttocks and mingle with the locals.
For India what vehicle could be more appealing than the iconic Royal Enfield.
Playing an active part instead of being the spectators is part of our philosophy.
Skip the rocky path with us!
Don´t waste your time on dusty potholed roads and stuck between stinking exhaust fumes and mother-swearing rickshaw drivers in painful midday heat.
Don’t waste your precious time looking for routes, things to do and places to eat. Leave the effort of all the planning to us.
We´ll take you straight to the most spectacular and also the most intimate experiences our area has to offer.
our philosophy
Riding slooow for peace of body and mind
Our Philosophy
Being cautious.
India is a firework for all your senses. Everything in this chaos is reaching for your attention. Maze like roads filled with 2,3,4, multiple wheelers, humans and animals of all sizes and colours and everything else under the sun. But don´t worry. We will give you all the time to get Indianized.
Being conscious.
Slow Travelling is the art of travelling with open senses, engaging with people and places, discovering food and culture – and taking your time.
Slowing down the pace we give you the space and the security to be conscious and mindful, to immerse yourself in the beautiful chaos around you.
Our desire is to give you an immersive and intimate experience that noticeably and sustainably enhances the quality of your life after your ride with us.
Slow Travelling is a fundamental pillar for sustainable tourism as you engage with the culture and the local people with joy, respect and appreciation, thereby preserving the diversity of customs, cuisine, folklore and language.
It is above all more relaxed for you and more respectful for the environment and the locals.
And we care for our companion creatures: we ride our Enfields, but never Elephants.

Our Story
our philosophy
In early 2020 Jo went on a 5000 km motorbike trip through the South of India on a Royal Enfield.
At one stopover he met Pratish, who turned out not only to be a perfectly caring host for this nights homestay, but also an Enfield enthusiast. The following day the two started their motorbikes and Pratish with his great feel for relaxed riding and knowledge of the local routes guided them across the area. Jo told Pratish about his experience of heavy hardships to get to the sweetest spots over the most beautiful routes and how much he´d love to make them accessible for likeminded travellers on a schedule, simply to share the beauty of this world.
Pratish was immediately hooked and they decided to team up for this venture to bundle their many years experiences in travelling, biking, hosting and guiding.
Although an immediate start was abruptly disrupted by the following pandemic, it gave them time to develop the concept in more depth. While Pratish started scouting routes in Kerala, Jo began to build the website in Austria.
To turn this idea into a solid company they decided to file for incorporation as a LLP in India because this way they could achieve the best possible coverage for their riders and themselves in all legal aspects. The gruelling bureaucratic process of incorporation itself was finally finished after one and a half years. As was the pandemic. And as soon as possible Jo returned to India, the company bought their first own Enfield Classic and all pieces came together to offer you what is now branded as
