It was a resounding success, and due to that success, the trip is back starting at the end of January 2027!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This trip of a lifetime is being organized by a local who grew up riding these roads. The ride around India will cover 4,000 miles, cross six states and last 30 days! This is not a commercial tour nor an official club sanctioned event but organized through club member, Ravi Verma, organized to give fellow riders an authentic and affordable way to experience India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From tiger safaris through jungle roads to the awe-inspiring Taj Mahal and relaxing on the sun-soaked beaches of Goa to exploring the cool, lush hills of the Western Ghats, this trip offers a little of everything. You\u2019ll ride through storybook towns like Jaisalmer in Rajasthan and even venture into the desert on camelback. You\u2019ll be riding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.royalenfield.com\/us\/en\/motorcycles\/himalayan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Royal Enfield Himalayan<\/a> motorcycles, alternating between riding days and rest days to soak in the local culture, scenery, and cuisine. Over the course of a month, you\u2019ll travel like locals, not tourists\u2014so leave your watch at home and let India\u2019s rhythm guide you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost includes:<br>** Accommodations in comfortable hotels<br>** Daily breakfast and dinner<br>** A Royal Enfield Himalayan motorcycle<br>** Fuel<br>** Backup vehicle to carry luggage<br>** On-call mechanic support<br>** Local support riders to assist with navigation and logistics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost doesn&#8217;t include sightseeing entrance fees, personal items or alcoholic beverages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those bringing a non-riding partner, we\u2019ll have an air-conditioned minivan following the tour for a more relaxed experience. If India has ever been on your bucket list, this is your chance to experience it the way it was meant to be seen\u2014by motorcycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested, contact Ravi by email (raviverma@indiabymotorcycle) or phone (408-859-2284).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"http:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/india_map_norcal.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9467 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"814\" height=\"696\" src=\"http:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/india_map_norcal.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9467 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/india_map_norcal.jpg 814w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/india_map_norcal-300x257.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/india_map_norcal-768x657.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9466,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"event_listing_category":[75],"event_listing_type":[8],"class_list":["post-9465","event_listing","type-event_listing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","event_listing_category-motorcycle-events","event_listing_type-overnight-ride"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing\/9465","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event_listing"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing\/9465\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9466"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9465"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"event_listing_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing_category?post=9465"},{"taxonomy":"event_listing_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bmwmoa.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_listing_type?post=9465"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
