Accommodation is provided on a twin-share basis and if you’re on your own we will do our best to bunk you in with an acceptable roommate. But if you’re the last person to book, there is obviously a 50-50 chance you will have to take a room on your own and will therefore be liable for the single room supplement. So the moral of the story is, book early or bring your own roommate with you. Or preferably both.

#2 Please note that a motorcycle tour overseas must be considered one of life’s more adventurous pursuits, therefore personal travel insurance is mandatory. If you wish, we can arrange comprehensive travel insurance for you ( Australian clients only). Be aware, however, that any travel insurance ceases immediately on return to your own country, even if ongoing surgery is required. Private health cover or government Medicare resumes at that point.

#3 A note on tips. We recognise tipping is not generally part of the Australian way of life, however, it is expected in most parts of the world. Daily hotel porters will expect a small reward for carrying your bags to you room, and our mechanics, drivers and support staff anticipate reasonable tips to supplement their modest wages. We suggest approximately $5 per day, distributed amongst the local crew. If you have had a good time, we would encourage you to donate generously. If something is not satisfactory, please come talk to us.

• Day 1 of our tour involves the logistics of having all of you fly in from different starting points at different times to all somehow meet up in Delhi. From your first glance at the sprawling metropolis you will immediately begin to appreciate that India is a land of contrasts, a land of diversity and variation unparalleled anywhere else in the world. Abject , squalid slums sit incongruously alongside amazing modern buildings of stunning beauty, like the lotus shaped Ba’hai temple. Five star hotels are served by 1950s vintage Morris Oxford taxi cabs with engines the same size as their batteries. At times confusing, at times challenging and at all times chaotic. Delhi is never still, never restful and never boring.
