Start early to beat the heat
Depart before sunrise when possible—temperatures spike midday and mornings make long highway sections more comfortable.
Helmet and fit matter
Helmets are provided but bring or request a properly fitted liner; long miles amplify small fit issues into major discomfort.
Plan fuel and cash
Fuel stations are common on main stretches but sparse in villages—top up in towns and carry cash for small shops and temple fees.
Respect wildlife distances
At Daroji and temple areas keep distance from sloth bears and monkeys—do not feed animals and follow guide instructions.
DOT/IS-certified helmet
Protective helmet with good ventilation reduces fatigue on long, hot rides; operators may supply helmets but personal fit is best.
Abrasion-resistant riding jacket
A jacket with light armor protects against road rash and provides wind and dust protection during long stretches.
Sturdy riding boots
Ankle-supporting boots improve control on uneven village approaches and protect feet during quick stops.
Hydration pack
Hands-free water access keeps you hydrated through long highway legs and dusty village roads.
