The Best\u00a0India Motorcycle Routes<\/span>, <\/span>Written by Riders<\/h2>\n

India is one of the greatest motorcycle destinations on earth. Whether you’re planning your first India motorcycle tour or your tenth, no country offers more variety \u2014 from the world’s highest motorable roads in Ladakh to the golden desert highways of Rajasthan, from the sacred mountain passes of Uttarakhand to the untouched jungle trails of Northeast India.<\/p>\n

At StoneheadBikes, we’ve been riding these roads since 2009. These India motorcycle route guides aren’t written by travel writers \u2014 they’re written by the same team that rents you the bike, services it before you leave, and answers your call at 11pm when you’re stranded in Kaza with a flat tyre. Every guide covers what actually matters: real road conditions, fuel stop distances, altitude warnings, permit requirements, and honest advice on which bike to take for each terrain.<\/p>\n
