A good thing about our guided tours is that you can rely on our trustful guides to have an eye on you.
As anywhere else in the world you can expect the odd pickpockets and conmen. But unlike other places, the locals will side with the tourists rather than their own people.
Malaria is not a risk in South India. There are big mosquitoes, but they cause nothing but the usual itching.
Dengue fever is endemic to South India, particularly during monsoon season, so good precautions such as strong repellants and nets are vital.
We´ll update you on precautions or restricions in case of any current medical situations like pandemics.
The South of India is only a short distance away from the equator and therefore enjoys a tropical climate. While winter is freezing Europe, we are in dry season with plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures in the lower areas without much rain or humidity. The average daily temperature there is 28°C. At the hottest point of the day the temperature can rise up to 32°C. Evenings cool down to a pleasant 23°C after sunset.
In the higher areas on our routes the daytime temperatures are on average around 20 – 22 °C, while during the nights, the temperatures can go as low as 9 °C.
So make sure to bring some warm clothes as well. Proper rain gear to pull over should do the job.
The sea temperature is comfortably high all-year round and with 29°C even higher than the average air temperature!
We want our riders to be fit enough to ride for 4-7 hours in a day under sunny conditions. While experience in long rides is not mandatory, it is always better that you have a few hundred kilometres of ride under your belt.
Please check with your doctor if you have any preexisting medical conditions.
On our route we will ride over pretty much everything that can be described under road surfaces.
We will glide over brand new mountain curves and cruise four-lane highways abruptly leading on pothole dappled country roads, encounter narrow downtown alleys as well as slowly maneuver over gravel and sand sections.
Don´t worry about the motorbikes handling, the Enfield is built precisely for the broad spectrum of Indian road conditions.
All our routes are tested and carefully selected by us while we go for our scouting rides. It is our constant endeavor to select routes which are safe and comfortable for our rides. There might be unexpected/last minute obstacles which are out of our control. But rest assured, we will be best prepared for such eventualities.
For information on safety on the road please have a look at our “Safety” section.
Biking ain´t fun with an upset stomach. And while we cannot guarantee your system’s overall response to Indian conditions, we do place highest value on hygienic standards in our partner´s kitchens. All ingredients are fresh, washed with bottled water and no underdone food touches the plates.
Please do let us know in advanvce so that we can confirm its availability.
Your general luggage will travel right behind you on our service truck to free you from carrying this burden. But as this is a bike tour, we suggest riders to travel light. For things you´ll need on the road, like a bottle of water, sunscreen lotion or camera, we recommend a separate small backpack.
The space on our support truck is limited, so we request you to not exceed a luggage weight of 25 kg. We can arrange for your remaining heavy luggages to be stored safely while we are on the tour and can be retrieved at the end of the ride.
It has many advantages if the whole group rides the same bike. Our tour is accompanied by an Enfield mechanic and we are equipped with the most common spare parts. Also in terms of safety and cruising speed, having the same body type and engine throughout the group is of great advantage.
The cost to rent one of our Enfields is included in the price.
However if you want to take the ride on your own bike, please contact us for custom motorcycle adventure holidays
Unless you’re planning to occupy the Taj Mahal, you won’t get into trouble with the local authorities on a daily basis. But still there are a few laws and regulations to consider as a normal visitor to India:
Some temples do not permit entry to non-Hindus. Strict dress codes are followed in most of the temples. Footwear is banned inside the temple premises.
Nudity is not allowed in any Indian beach.
Visitors to most Indian houses leave their footwear outside before entering the house.
Hugging or kissing in public is not an accepted practice in India.
Expect heavy penalties including imprisonment for possession of narcotic drugs.
No, the guesthouses provide. Keep your luggage light, but don´t forget to pack your swimming things.
Hopefully you didn´t hurt yourself!
Our own insurance covers material damage you do to the motorbike and material damage and personal injury you do to third parties with the bike.
In case you did get hurt we carry a comprehensive first-aid kit and our entire crew is certified in first aid. The South has an advanced emergency medicine system, so in serious cases, you would soon be in the trustful hands of a professional medic. Your travel insurance will step in to cover these costs. One of the few requirements we place on you is that you take out travel insurance abroad.
This is a great pity, but of course it’s possible. You can find the detailed Cancelation Policy in our Terms and Conditions.
