So, you’re in the US or Canada, scrolling through photos of bikers cruising the Himalayas, and you wonder—could I actually do this? Short answer: yes. Long answer: Here’s how 

  1. Book the Right Tour

Skip the sketchy operators and Choose any reputable motorcycle tour in India with solid bikes like Royal Enfield Classic or Himalayan , backup vehicles, permits with English speaking guides. Booking directly with Indian tour operators is often cheaper and more authentic.

  1. Get Riding-Ready

Be prepared for 6–8 hours of riding daily on unpredictable terrain. Train with long back-to-back rides, practice off road control and learn how to handle altitude sickness with hydration and medication if needed.

  1. Handle Docs & Basics

Apply online for an Indian eVisa, carry a passport valid for 6 plus months, and get insurance that covers riding. Bring cash, a credit card, and a local SIM for connectivity.
