Jaipur, Johdpur then...

I am just in the planning stages of my trip around India, or as much of it as I can possibly see without going too mad. Having looked at 6 weeks of travel I have resolved to only seeing the North, I am travelling in March so will miss out on trips to Ladakh, perhaps its possible to get as far as Srinagar, I probably will not know for sure until I get to pathankot.

Somebody suggested Delhi, Jaipur, Jodhpur and then North, I think I will go Delhi, Agra, Jaipur...

But I have seen and read some good things about Kutch in Gujurat, then there are beaches a day or so ride to the south... so wonder if that is worth the detour, to Dwarka or mandvi and and then ride up through the desert in rajasthan to Jaisalmer, then on North.

I wondered if anybody had experiences of the beaches in Gujurat

Cheers
M

Hi Steamy

Am from Gujarat.

It is Incredible INDIA, and you would love it here. Let me know if you need any support in India.

All the best for the tour.

Roads ridden

Looks like you guys have tons of experience in the North India region.

Planning my first solo trip and hoping to identify some roads/easy off-road that can be taken from Jaisalmer through to Jaipur. I only have 10 days so keeping the distance short but hoping to get off the main route.

Here is the rough outline of a plan (work in progress) http://bit.ly/2FB5tr6 but any key points to see or interesting roads taken would help a lot in the planning

Thanks!

I can tell you that we couldn't stand the very humid heat in the summer months around Delhi and such.
It was great to go up the mountains from Manali upwards, to get rid of all the humidity.

But september will be getting a bit late in Jammu and Kashmir regions because the weather will be changing.
However, I think it will be fine for being in the Rajastan area.

If you're going for the Khardung La pass, don't forget to go up the Wari La pass. Virtually no other cars/people there, it is higher then Khardung La and we thought it was better looking as well.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
