Why ride with Great Indian Rides

Expeditions built around the road, the season and the people riding it.

Our approach

  • Carefully planned expeditions

    Routes, stays and daily distances planned around the terrain, the season and the riders.

  • Experienced ride marshals

    A ride leader and marshal keep the group together and set a safe, steady pace.

  • Small groups

    Small groups ride better, adapt faster and travel more lightly through remote places.

  • Remote, extraordinary destinations

    Border valleys, high passes and places far beyond the usual tourist circuits.

  • Stays and logistics handled

    Accommodation and on-route logistics coordinated so you can focus on the ride.

  • Route planning & local knowledge

    Local partners and on-the-ground knowledge of roads, permits and weather.

  • Mechanical & emergency support

    Mechanical and emergency support on tours where it is included — see each tour’s inclusions.

  • A community of riders

    Riders who return, ride together again and share the road.
