Highlights Description

Expedition Overview

Forts, Deserts and Sacred Cities

North India delivers scale: dry plains, royal cities, pilgrimage roads and riverfront nights that stay with you for years.

This expedition is less about postcard moments and more about deep immersion into the subcontinent’s historic backbone.

You ride from central India into Gujarat and Rajasthan, then push into spiritual corridors before returning south.

Every day feels like a new chapter, from desert wind and palace walls to ghat firelight and mountain foothill air.
