Motorcycle tour to Madhya Pradesh

ARRIVAL IN DELHI

Arrive in Siliguri by 12 noon. After checking you in into our designated hotel and meeting your co-riders, we head out for a short ride on the Himalayans so that you test the motorcycle you would be riding for the rest of the tour. While the mechanic makes final adjustments according to your riding style, the road captain briefs you on the route and day wise brief.

DELHI TO MANDU VIA INDORE

We leave early in the morning and take the national highway, along Teesta river and say hello to the Himalayas. We reach Gangtok, the capital city of Sikkim by lunchtime. It is of utmost importance that you rest in the evening for better acclimatisation. In the meanwhile, we start the process of procuring your inner line permits and bike permits for the journey ahead.

MANDU TO JAMNIA AND BORIYA MAL

This day is reserved for you to rest and enjoy the happening city of Gangtok, also voted as the cleanest city in India. You can head out for local sightseeing, or visit the markets for shopping and souvenirs. Visit the casinos to try your luck, or ride to the iconic Rumtek Monastery during the day while we sort out your permits.

BORIYA MAL TO RATAPANI NATIONAL PARK

We start early in the morning to stop at Tashi Viewpoint just outside of Gangtok, to catch the majestic view of the Kanchenjunga range. As we start our sojourn to North Sikkim, the terrain becomes rough, but the views more rewarding. We refuel, at the last fuel station in Mangan and also pack spare fuel for all the bikes and head towards a small town nestled in the mountains - Lachung which is the district headquarters of North Sikkim. The highlight of the day are the several waterfalls we would cross and the evening campfire, with a beautiful view of the Himalayas and clear night sky.

RATAPANI TO BARGI DAM

Lachung is the gateway to Yumthang Valley, also known as Valley of Flowers. The ride to Zero Point (Yumesamdong) at an altitude of 15,300 feet is when we touch the high altitude region of Sikkim. Zero point is where the road ends in India, before the Chinese border. The initial ride is through thick forests, but slowly the landscape becomes barren and with snow clad peaks all around, you witness the diverse beauty and experience Sikkim has to offer.

After a warm cup of tea and snacks close to the India - China border, we retrace the ride back and head to the scarcely populated and quaint town - Lachen.

BARGI DAM TO MAIHAR

This is arguably the most mesmerizing and challenging day of the tour. Gurudongmar lake, the source of the river Teesta, is one of the most pristine and sacred lakes in India and is located 5 km south of Chinese border, at an altitude of 17,800 feet. Today is undoubtedly the best Sikkim has to offer in terms of landscape. No words can describe the pristine beauty you will witness this day.

BRUNCH TRIP TO PANNI KHOH

Today’s ride is a retrace to Gangtok. Before arrival in Gangtok, we halt at the famous Seven sister’s waterfall for some quick pictures. With this, we enter the hustle and bustle of colorful city life, as a contrast to the calm we experienced over the last few days. Today, the ROML crew will also renew your permits for the journey ahead to East Sikkim.

MAIHAR TO PANNA NATIONAL PARK

Today being a long ride, we leave early in the morning to ride towards East Sikkim on the Gangtok - Nathula highway, which is a part of erstwhile ‘Old Silk Route’. En route, we halt for tea and snacks at Tsongmo (Changu) Lake. Nathula pass would definitely be the highlight of the day and the tour. Just a common wall separates India and China here; you can see the road coming from China to India from where trading used to happen centuries ago. See the Chinese camp and even say Hi to them as they will be feets away from you!

After Nathula, we descend to ride along the beautiful views of Kanchenjunga mountain range, leading us to the famous 56 hairpin bends of Zuluk. Counting the bends and soaking in the beauty, we descend towards Padamchen, a small town in remote Sikkim.

DAY TRIP TO KHAJURAHO

As the tour reaches its conclusion, we enter back into West Bengal to reach the bustling town of Siliguri, by afternoon. The ride marks an end with Sikkim making an imprint on your heart. You bid farewell to the Himalayas and your riding buddies, and head home after a ride of a lifetime.
