Masjid al Aqsa Package

Umrah Tour Itinerary

• DAY 1: Welcome to Delhi

  The first day of our tour gets everyone together in the vast and utterly unique city of Delhi. If you’ve never been to India before, the sights and sounds from the moment you leave the airport are a true assault on the senses. It’s frantic, noisy, fragrant, colourful and chaotic all at the same time and we love it!

  After checking into the hotel it’s a chance to meet your fellow riders and for your Ride Expeditions tour leader to give you a full briefing of the adventure ahead. After that we’ll head over to the cool and happening Hauz Khas district for dinner and beers at ‘The Social’ rooftop as the sun goes down. A perfect start to your trip.

  Accommodation will be in a quality hotel.

  Meals: Dinner.

• DAY 2: Delhi to Manali

  Rising early, we’ll check out of our hotel and head to the domestic airport to board our small propeller plane. A short 1 and a half hour flight will land us in the beautiful Kullu Valley. The cost of this isn’t included in the price of the tour and being a tiny airport high in the hills, flights can be a little variable – welcome to India! The one-way cost of this flight can range from £40 – £150 and we can of course book this for you.

  Taxis will meet us at the airport and drive us the final 50km up the valley to our 5* hotel just outside of Manali. Welcome to the Himalayas!

  Accommodation will be at an excellent 5* hotel with incredible views across the valley.

  Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner.

• DAY 3: Kullu Valley

  The first riding day of the tour is an acclimatisation day for everyone. It gives you a chance to get used to your bike – a Royal Enfield Himalayan as well as the way the traffic works in India (which may be a tad unexpected at times) and just generally finding your feet in this beautiful region. It also gives you a chance to meet the rest of the local crew who will accompany the tour – the lead and sweep riders, travelling mechanics and support vehicle drivers. Any other final requests before we leave civilisation (power adaptors, wine etc.) we will also help with!

  Today isn’t about covering big distances, so we’ll take a leisurely ride down the Kullu Valley – known locally as ‘The Valley of the Gods’ – along the winding and picturesque road, before crossing the river Beas and up to Naggar Castle for Lunch.

  In the afternoon, we’ll head back through Manali and up the lower reaches of the Rohtang Pass, an area that during the winter is a busy and maybe unexpected skiing resort. If you come back to ski here in the winter best bring your own kit as the hire suits are straight out of 1992!

  Dinner is at the immaculate Johnson Lodge Restaurant where the House dish is the trout, fished from the very river that cuts through the town. Delicious.

  Accommodation will be in the same 5* hotel.

  Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner.
