Note:  Persons holding passports of or born in Pakistan, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Myanmar & Nigeria shall not be permitted to enter Sikkim.  Advisory:  Since this tour involves riding on narrow, winding & sometimes steep roads (with countless “hairpin” bends)  and a small amount of riding (~ 5 %) is also on unpaved/gravel roads, we recommend that only riders with a certain amount of experience and confidence of such riding should consider joining these tour.  We have back-up vehicles following our riders with sufficient room for pillions who might want to take an occasional time off from pillion riding in such conditions.

Sikkim is a wonderland blessed with natural abundance from icy cold deserts, flowering alpine meadows, to lush green forests and emerald mountain lakes. The crowning glory of this wonderland is undoubtedly the magnificent Mt. Khangchendzonga (8,586m), the third highest mountain of the world. The snow-capped mountain ranges, lush thick forests, plunging mountain valleys flush with rich flora and fauna, picture perfect villages, groves of rhododendrons, hot –springs, waterfalls, perennial streams and grand rivers Teesta and Rangit all contribute to shape Sikkim as a magical, mystical wonderland.

Keeping in tune with the natural diversity, Sikkim has an equally rich and diverse demographic structure with myriad of communities and religions. Diverse rituals, songs, dances, traditional dresses, folklores and legends fill up the cultural canvas of the State. The chimes of bells in the temples and the flutter of prayer flags in the monasteries create a feeling of righteousness and healing of spirit and soul. Feel rejuvenated, energised and spirituality enlightened in this holy land.

Nature is revealed in its entire splendour in the serene lakes, cascading rivers and pristine waterfalls. Sacred lakes, waterfalls and hot water springs dot the mountainous landscape. Our tour in this region is combined with the most amazing region of it’s neighbouring state of West Bengal as well. Lying amidst the slopes of the Lesser Himalayas and blanketed by emerald green plantations of tea, Darjeeling (aptly called the “queen of hills”) is a picturesque town noted for its scenic beauty, ancient forests, quaint houses , friendly people and the mountain panorama that it provides.

Riding a motorcycle through this incredulous region provides a variety of experiences, both spiritual and sensory, which go beyond any language or dialect.
