James Stathes Rajasthan Motorcycle Tour with ABoriginal Tours India

The organization of the tour from the beginning was very well carried out, very professional.  The condition of the Bikes were excellent and with the crew, kept in a very good state of repair.  The tour itself was a good mix of highways and smaller district roads. Before the tour, I thought the idea of  an average 180 km  per day was a little un-ambitious but soon found that even this can be pretty tiring.  On the day we rode 300 km , it felt very nice to get off the saddle.  I also wasn't sure about the days off , but they were gladly welcome and also it was a holiday, not an endurance test.  I have to say that the whole trip was excellent.  

I totally enjoyed the trip and thought it was an amazing experience.  Thanks to the backup crew as well who were always around to help out.

 

For me the highlights of the tour were Forts & Palaces, rural roads, sunset over the lake at Udiapur, Atul's frequent "surprises" and the flickering “low fuel” light on the motorcycle while riding through Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve !!!

 

Richard Johnson,  England

For anyone who has ever wanted to tour India and can ride a bike this is the best trip to take.  Atul has everything organised... The accommodation sometimes takes your breath away, the journey always takes your breath away.  You can’t see rural India this close on a bus or car trip.  Non-biking ladies are soon converted and rarely need the back-up vehicle option.  Many thanks to Atul and crew for a memorable trip.  Hopefully next trip... The Himalayas !

Gary & Marion Clark Rajasthan Motorcycle Tour with ABoriginal Tours India

This was a fantastic tour.  It was well organised, we stayed at very nice hotels & resorts where we could just roll up and jump straight in the pool.  The pace was good, nice to have some non-riding days to see the sights properly.  And the sights were amazing !! Forts & palaces everywhere in Rajasthan were impressive.  The stone carving of some of them is unbelievable.  The bikes were modern and ran really well.... Good for 2 up riding which is good because this is a tour my wife enjoyed as well.

- Daniel Geary

 

What a fantastic tour... Very well organised, exceeded my expectations and exceptional value for money.  I highly recommend Aboriginal Tours.  You won’t be dissapointed.

Thanks Atul and all your crew, for a wonderful magical tour of the Himalayas in July/August 2011. I have so many fantastic memories of beautiful landscapes and a fascinating culture. Experiencing it all on those robust Royal Enfields with your tour made it even more special! I would highly recommend your tour for value, honesty, thrills and fun! Hope to see you again in the future... maybe Rajasthan?

I was doolally for a good few weeks after arriving home from Ladakh, not from the altitude, just the desire to be back there. Even though I have been through Rajasthan before with others, I’m sure I'll be back to do that run with you.  Your whole operation was that enjoyable and yes definitely the best value.  To anyone considering motorcycling in India, this is one man in my opinion you can totally trust and will give you an experience of your life.

The tour was better than expected - well organised, excellent value for money. The scenery along the route sells the Himalayas without the need of publicity - absolutely fabulous & beyond words.  Atul becomes a friend to us all with his good humour & such a friendly nature.  For me a trip of a lifetime - Thanks Atul, thanks India.

 

Chris Gillard, Perth, Australia

Atul, I wish to thank you for a very memorable & enjoyable tour I did with you from 17 Jul -06 Aug 2011.  I would not hesitate to recommend the tour to others as it was well organised; our safety & well being was always paramount.

The bikes were excellent & in first class condition.

Pascal Vleminckx & Danielle Scherens Himalayan Motorcycle Tour with ABoriginal Tours India

Thank you, Atul & his team, for the most memorable holiday experience of my life.  The Royal Enfields were superb, easy & safe to ride, “on-road” or “off road”.  The low speed torque characteristic was a delight in chugging out of “sticky” situations.

 

The scenery was absolutely spectacular, I can’t imagine anywhere more rugged yet beautiful.  An excellent camaraderie developed in the group and this included Atul & his crew.  The accommodation on the tour was fine, varying from basic camping to very nice hotels.

 

I would recommend this adventure to anyone but suggest that basic “off road” skills are useful.  I had none at the start but soon picked up from the group.  The value for money of this tour was quite remarkable and I feel sure that Atul’s enterprise will be most successful.

 

George Stalker, Essex, UK

Fantastic trip... Well organized and professionally run.  Bikes were superb and well set up with better tyres to suit the conditions.  This trip is the best “value for money” ride in India.  Many thanks to Atul & crew.  Cheers...

The Himalayan Tour with Atul was my first experience in an organized tour.  It was well planned & managed.  It exceeded my expectations.  The bikes & accommodation were very good.  Highly recommend it & the price was more than competitive.

Die Tour mit Atul war von Beginn an bis zum Ende ein Erlebnis.  Jedem Motorradfahrer, der Fitness mitbringt und bereit ist, zu lernen, wie man auf Schotterwegen ueber viele Bachquerungen zum Ziel gelangt, kann ich diese Reise nur empfehlen.  Die perfekte Organisation, die umsichtige und ruhige Gruppenführung sowie die gute Einteilung von Fahr- und Ruhetagen machen die Tour perfekt.  Die traumhafte Umgebung der Berge und Seen im Himalaya bleibt unvergesslich.

 

Hansjörg Wieser, Innsbruck, Austria

Super voyage au Rajasthan.

Le dépaysement est total mais, que de plaisir, à découvrir ce pays en Royal Enfield. Le rythme entre les journées en motos et les visites de forts, palais,.. était parfait.

Atul reste un organisateur hors pair,  toujours à l’écoute de ses clients.

Il est bien entouré avec Youssef le mécanicien et Sandju  le chauffeur.

Nous avons vécu une aventure superbe en Inde.  Je recommande ce tour à tous les motards qui souhaitent vivre quelque chose de différent.

Benoît Dymala, Bordeaux, France

"Quelques mots à propos de notre séjour de 2 semaines au Rajasthan, en Royal Enfield 500, avec Atul en février 2011. Nous étions 7 Français, 5 motards et deux accompagnants qui étaient dans le véhicule suiveur, avec le chauffeur et mécanicien.

Au delà des merveilleux forts et palais, une ambiance, des gens très agréables. Des lieux d'hébergement bien choisis, un rythme bien dosé entre la moto et les journées visites, découverte... Notre guide et organisateur, Atul est consciencieux et professionnel, de plus, il est vraiment sympathique. Une composante qu'il était difficile d'imaginer était la conduite en Inde, ce fut aussi un grand dépaysement de ce point de vue là, vraiment.  J'invite les futurs motards à nous contacter pour d'éventuels renseignements. Atul pourra vous transmettre nos e-mail"

 

Laurent Meignan, Périgueux, France

 

“17 jours à sillonner le Rajasthan sur des 500 Royal Enfield flambant neuves

Que du plaisir…

Une fois intégré le code de la route indien ( facile il n’y en a pas), une découverte superbe des palais et forts Et des ambiances locales. Atul est aux petits soins pour ses clients, youssef pour ses motos et Sandju pour son véhicule d’assistance.  Un trip à recommander absolument."

Vielen dank an Atul und sein team. Organisation, Motorräder, Unterkunft, Besichtigungen waren von anfang bis ende perfekt. Wir hatten wunderschöne tage in Rajasthan und können die tour nur weiter empfehlen. Der preis ist einfach unglaublich...

 

Frank Haberbosch

Was für eine abenteuerliche reise! Die fahrt ist perfekt organisiert und es ist für jeden etwas dabei.  Das team mit Atul kümmert sich um alles.  Die motorräder sind in sehr gutem zustand.  Auf dieser reise konnte ich viel von indien sehen; Chaotischer verkehr mit kühen, ziegen, kamelen, tuk-tuks, radfahrern, fußgängern, autos.  Einige hotels waren wie aus dem märchen!  Der stopp im wüstencamp war eine besondere erfahrung, kamelreiten in der wüste und abends tanz um das lagerfeuer.  Liebe Atul, danke für diesen wunderschönen urlaub!

 

Hanne Kleine                                                   (Lübbecke, Germany)

 

Ein unglaubliches erlebnis durch die weite und abwechslungsreich landschaft Rajasthan auf Royal Enfield bikes.  Eine aussergewoehnliche art um land und leute zu erkunden.  Abenteuer, kultur, biking - eine einpraegsame reise, die zu meinen top 3 reisen zaehlt. Dazu Atul's ausgezeichnete planung, Und wenn ich ausgezeichnet sage meine ich perfekt:

 

- Brandneue Motorraeder

- Super Boutique Hotels, die man selbst nur schwer entdecken wuerde

- Geniale streckenplanung

- Ziele und stadte, die man sehen muss

- Eigener mechaniker als backup fuer den (nie eingetretenen fall der faelle)

 

Fazit: Was man bei ABoriginal Tours fuer sein geld bekommt ist so gut das man sofort die nächste tour buchen moechte.

 

Axel Fürderer (Munich, Germany)

 

This tour exceeded all of my expectation.  The itinerary and organisation were superb.  Everyday was a new and rewarding adventure full of surprises & pleasure.  Every motorcyclist with adventure in his/her heart should do it.  Go “Aboriginal Tours”, Do it now !

 

Martin Jenkins

This trip enables you to see the real India; it’s not just about travelling from one tourist destination to another.  Because the whole tour is planned and led by Atul himself, you get personal attention to detail and an excellent insight into what India is really like.  Seeing India by motorcycle enables you to really be in touch with the towns, villages and country side of Rajasthan.  The whole programme has been carefully planned to give a perfect mix of travelling & sight-seeing, history & culture, so that you feel that you’ve had a really full experience of India.

 

Janet Jenkins                                      (Ottery St. Mary, Devon, England)

 

The tour in Rajasthan was more than just a motorcycle tour, it was an excellent holiday.  Atul balanced a good mix of riding, site-seeing and cultural experiences that made the 22 day tour exciting and memorable.

 

John Lidbetter (Buckingham, UK)

The 3-week Rajasthan tour was an incredible adventure, an unbelievable experience.  We saw and did things I’d only dreamt of before.  Aboriginal Tours is a professional outfit.  Atul runs a “tight ship” and everything is well planned and executed; you just ride the bike and everything else is taken care of.  I would recommend this tour also for the cultural and riding experience.  

 

I’ve ridden motorcycles for 43 years and riding in Rajasthan has to be the most challenging, most fun and most rewarding riding experience I’ve had.  Good luck Atul for all your future tours and thanks for the adventure of a lifetime.

 

Don Farmer

We have had an unbelievably great time and I would recommend Aboriginal Tours to anyone who is considering this type of motorcycle tour.  Atul is a great guy and he really has thought of everything to make sure you have a brilliant time.  From a pillions perspective, the Royal Enfield was great - more comfortable than I was expecting, although we did bring an “AirHawk” seat which did make it easier on your backside - definitely recommended !  Overall, it’s been the adventure of a lifetime, thanks to Aboriginals, thanks to Atul.

 

Jan Butler                                                                                                                   (Whitney, Oxfordshire, England)

 

Zeer goed georganiseerde trip met oog voor elk detail zodat het voor de motorriders echt genieten wordt. Het was zien, horen, ruiken en beleven van begin tot einde.  Rajasthan is gewoon prachtig, zelfs al rij je soms door een vuilnisbelt.  Alles is hier compleet anders, onvoorspelbaar, crazy - een buitengewoon avontuur!

 

Luc van Laere (Kasterlee, Belgium)

 

It was very good !  A good small “group”.  The trip in Rajasthan was a great adventure.  India is beautiful and “ugly” at the same time.  I’ve got a lot of fantastic impressions and memories.  Thanks for the perfect organisation.

An excellent tour that exceeded all my expectations, at a good price.  Atul is a very professional guide and had every detail well organised to ensure a safe and action packed adventure.  The bikes were almost new while hotels & food were of a high standard.  There are other profit hungry western companies offering similar tours at more then double the price.  I doubt if they can do anything better than Aboriginal Tours and quite possibly not as well.  Overall, an unforgettable experience to last a lifetime.

 

- Gary Clark

 

I hardly ever go on husbands bike back home... but once on the bike all my apprehensions were gone and I truly enjoyed the entire trip and it turned out to be the best way to see India.  Tour was well organised with enough stops to rest.  Had a great time and can highly recommend even for “fearful” wives.  Best time I ever had on a motorbike.  Thank you Atul and team !

Hi Atul

 

I would like to thank both you and your team for a truly memorable trip through the Himalayas, I had the ride of a lifetime. Your organisation was A1, your bikes were faultless, and I would not hesitate to recommend your trip to anyone.

Excellent value for money. Excellent bikes. Excellent people.  Thank you very much Atul, hope we meet again soon.

 

Allan Webb

Stunning Himalayan scenery, friendly Indian hospitality and a very professional team lead by the magnificent Atul. Thanks very much for a memorable tour, I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of it until a moment of stupidity lead to an earlier than anticipated end to the tour for me. The classic Royal Enfield's performed beyond expectation in the tough terrain. Highly recommended, Thanks Atul.

Atul - I feel privileged to have been on your tour.  Satisfied, yes.  Incredible sights and a well organised adventure.  All I can say is THANK YOU.  

Rajasthan tour is on the to-do list.

 

Martin Gorringe

Atul, I had a wonderful time on the tour of the Himalayas.  I had expected to see some great scenery but I had no idea it would be as dramatic, varied and beautiful as it proved to be.  Touring on a Royal Enfield was the perfect way to see it all.

 

Thank you for your professionalism and patience, your good humour and companionship and particularly for sharing with us your great pride in your fascinating & spectacular country.

 

I could not be more happy & satisfied after a wonderful 21 days in the saddle.  Best wishes for the future, I’m sure you will do very well.

 

Trevor Collens, New York, USA

Thanks for this wonderful tour to Atul & his excellent crew. If someone deserves to succeed in his business, it must be Atul.  He is a wonderful organiser and a person worth knowing.  Keep going, Atul, and we will meet again for the Rajasthan tour !

Many thanks Atul, for one of the best holidays I've ever had.  You've looked after us all really well & made sure that we've gone home with some wonderful memories of India... Ably helped by Yusuf and Sanju, we all had a great time.

Best of luck with all your future trips & plans.

 

Tony Bailey

Atul, what a fantastic way to see Rajasthan and the Thar desert.  You have provided a lifetime of memories and assembled a fantastic group of people.  The bike performed extremely well  and I truly enjoyed the pleasure of your company as well as that of Yusuf & Sanju.  I would highly recommend this tour.  The tour felt like a ride with friends and I hope to ride with you again in the Himalayas...or perhaps in Southern California.  I wish you much success & happiness.  Your friend...

 

James Stathes, San Diego, California

Dear Atul, I'd like to deeply thank you for the experience, the adventure and simply the amazing time I had for the last 3 weeks travelling in India with you and the amazing people that have been part of the group... It was truly one of the best trips of my life !  I was most impressed with the careful planning of the itinerary and selection of accommodation.  The support team were great guys and absolutely helpful !  I would recommend the trip anytime to anybody who's looking for an adventure like this.

See you in the Himalayas !  All the best...

"I did not like the tour.

My expectations were NOT met.

It wasn't a good experience."

 

I LOVED the tour !

My expectations were exceeded by far !!

It was a SPECTACULAR experience !!!

 

Thanks for an unbelievable adventure.  See you some time in the Himalayas... all the best.

Dear Atul, this motorcycle adventure has been amazing !  Special thanks to the fantastic organization and the knowledge of the well travelled areas by yourself including the amazing places we have stayed; my favourite being the Castle Bijaipur !  The extremely fun time we had at Sam Desert camp has made this feel like a holiday with friends rather than an organized tour.  Yusuf & Sanju have been very helpful and I have enjoyed being called "sister"  and listening to Indian music in the back-up car.  Thank you for a memorable experience of Rajasthan.

 

Jill van Velden,  Brisbane, Australia

"From 6 to 22 November 2010 we enjoyed our "Hot & Spicy Challenge" in India. One of our friends started the initiative and he contacted Atul (ABoriginal Tours) who handled the organization  in India. The challenge was to drive from New Delhi to Mysore, 3300km in 14 days, on Royal Enfield Motor bikes, raising money for 2 charity projects in India and Nepal.

The group consisted of 20 riders from Heiloo, the Netherlands, 2 mechanics, 1 driver and of course, Atul, leading at the front. The ride was spectacular, with amazing views, crazy Indian traffic and unbelievable beautiful sight seeing. The challenge was a great success, with a laugh and a tear, raising over 20.000 euro."

 

Eric van Haaren

November 2010. Twenty friends from the Netherlands riding 3300 km in 14 days from New Delhi to the south of India on Royal Enfields. A real challenge! A lifetime experience!!

 

Atul, many thanks for the excellent organisation and guidance during our challenge. Your aura of peace and calm in all circumstances and dealing with the various characters of the riders are admirable. I went home with a wonderful experience and an incredible impression of India. Again… many thanks!!

 

Kind regards and see you on the next tour!!

were impressive.  The stone carving of some of them is unbelievable.  The bikes were modern and ran really well.... Good for 2 up riding which is good because this is a tour my wife enjoyed as well.
