Bike Tour Details

“Khukri” is the symbol of pride as well as a versatile weapon of choice for the brave Ghurkha people. These hardy, ethnic Nepali folk, have been taming these Himalayan foot hills for over a thousand years. Their bravery, valour and loyalty is legendary and recognised world-over. These people are also superb hosts.

The “Khukri Ride” is a tribute to the robust Ghurkha people.

This ride is specifically designed for Bikers aspiring to start Adventure Motorcycle Touring. It is also great for bikers who have gotten a bit rustic with age but would like to start riding again.

The Darjeeling Hills are under 6500ft., largely covered with dense Pine forests and scenic Tea Gardens. Roads are generally sealed and good. Some sections with steep inclines with hair-pin bends makes the ride very thrilling. Our route will also take us thru few shallow water crossings and smooth dirt roads.

Highlights:

Spectacular views of Mt Kanchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world.

Pristine Pine forests and beautiful Tea gardens.

Local delicacies like Taipoh, Tongbah, Momos etc.

Opportunity to engage in relaxed discussions with locals, to know about their culture, heritage and legends.

Superb Motorcycling experience.
