India and Nepal on a rented bike
Hello, guys.
I had to give up a planned trip to South Africa, Namibia, Zambia and Botswana due to the high costs of the motorcycle hire there postponing the trip to May, so I was thinking about a cheaper trip for my holiday period of November (18 total days).
I was thinking about renting a bike in New Delhi and tour part of India + Nepal.
I've read many threads here on the HUBB, and now I was liking to know if the following driving times sound feasable or not, considering that most probably I'll rent a Royal Enfield:
New Delhi to Pokhara: 2.5 days of riding;
Chitwan National Park (Nepal) to Varanasi (India): 1 full day
Varanasi to Agra: 1.5 days
Agra to Jaipur: half a day
Jaipur to New Delhi: half a day
The other days will be used for local sightseeings + flights to and from Delhi.
I have already received a quote from Tony Bullet Center (where also a friend of mine rented a 350cc Enfield last year), but he only rents Enfields.
Does anybody else rents Honda Hero or some other reliable bikes?
I am a good rider but a terrible mechanic, so I'd stick to a bike that will allow me to respect my schedule as much as possible.
Thanks you all for your suggestions about my riding times and the type of motorcycle to choose.
