Jalori Pass: the road is narrow and steep with hairpins on both sides, and it can close after snow between December and March. In the monsoon (July–August) landslides are common across Himachal, so we do not run group departures then.
Choose your bike
The Himachal loop is mostly tarmac with steep hairpins on Jalori Pass. A Classic 350 is comfortable; a Himalayan handles the rough patches more easily.
| Bike | Engine | Rate | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Enfield Classic 350 | 349 cc | ₹1,500 / day | Relaxed riding at an easy pace; comfortable on tarmac and the Himachal loop |
| Royal Enfield Classic 500 | 499 cc | ₹1,800 / day | More pulling power for the long highway days to Leh and Srinagar |
| Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 | 411 cc | ₹1,800 / day | Rough roads, water crossings and gravel: Zanskar, Spiti and the Changthang roads |
| Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 | 452 cc | ₹2,500 / day | The best all-rounder for high passes and long days, with the most power and suspension travel |
| KTM 390 Duke | 373 cc | ₹1,800 / day | Experienced riders who want a light, sporty bike on good roads; less suited to rough stretches |
All bikes are serviced before each tour and come with a helmet. Tell us your riding experience and we will suggest the right bike.
