I had booked the private tour of Royal Mysore with Five senses tours and we had Satish as our guide. It was an amazing day. Satish was a fantastic person with immence knowledge. He was also very caring and took very good care of us who were all first time visitors in India. Mysore was incredible and the palace is no less than Taj Mahal. We also saw other parts of this old kingdom like the old bazaar and few more palaces. The lunch was fingerlicking. Satish had suggested traditional Mysore meals and it was a great experience. Go ahead and book this whenever you are in India! Fully recommended.

If you want to get out of the city and see the real countryside of South India, this is the tour for you. Stand astride a trusty, legendary Royal Enfield Thunderbird 500 motorcycle and adventure is yours to find. With my knowledgeable guide Vijay, I felt comfortable winding my way through traffic and out onto the highways and beyond. Sure, you can take a similar tour by car or minibus, but you will be totally missing the perspective and experience you get becoming one of India's millions of motorcycle riders. As an introduction to Indian roads, this tour is also a great way to get comfortable riding a motorcycle on Indian roads and learn all the unwritten rules. Of course the destinations are interesting - we visited a temple lost to the literal sands of time and unearthed only 70 years ago, intact! We rode about 320km on the day, and it lasted from dawn until dusk, so be prepared for a tiring but exhilarating trip. All admissions, fuel, and food is included in the price. They also provided a reliable helmet and riding jacket. Bring your own riding gloves, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Don't forget your motorcycle license or International Drivers Permit!

Our experience was demanding especially during Bengaluru rush hour traffic getting out of the city! Perhaps a starting point somewhere outside the city would have been better. Once out of the city it was relaxing and fun! Weather was great. Temple sites were beautiful and the people were very friendly. 5 senses tour leader ViJay was a fine leader, safe and courteous. Chandren riding in the car was very effective support.

We contacted karmayatri for a 10 days tour in August 2019 for four people. We had great communication with Hashim and the preparation went smoothly. Hashim planned a special tour for us with less roads and more dirt tracks and high passes as we asked. This was hands down the best experience of my life so far. We were greated upon arrival by Hashim and his extremely friendly and helpful team and went straight to a village in the outskirts of Leh to get acclimatized to the high altitude for a day and a half. The house where we stayed was beautiful, clean and the views amazing. We also had the chance to eat amazing food prepared by Hashim's girlfriend, who's an actual chef in Mumbai during the rest of the year. We then went to rent Royal Enfield Himalayan and did a test ride to get used to the bike. We then left for 2 days in direction of the markha valley following the Zanskar River and coming back north of the Leh Kargil highway to do one pass above 4000m to check our body reaction to the altitude. As it was good, we went back to main camp close to Leh and decided to embark on a trip to nubra valley via khardung la, then folowing the Shyok River , Pangong Tso, Tso Moriri then back to Leh via the Manali Leh highway. We have seen amazing sceneries, wild foxes, wild horses, rare birds, struggled to catch our breath at 5300m, raced with the motorbikes in the sand , bathed in cold freezing rivers, played cricket at 4300m, drank beers beside campfires with skies packed with stars like you have never seen before, crossed rivers on our bikes and above all, spent amazing times with Hashim team We slept mostly in local guest houses and we never had to take care of anything, Hashim and his team took care that our only concerns were enjoying the views, the ride and the food. This was very pleasant and having a team of locals to take care of everything really did contribute to the success of this trip. Regarding security, we were there during the start of August 2019 when some events happened in Kashmir and the Indian government revoked the special status of Kashmir. Despite this, we did mot have any problem or concern or fear in Ladakh, Hashim's team took care of all the checkpoints with military with us and we never felt threatened by anybody , will it be military or locals. I would definitely recommend you booking a trip with karmayatri and to take the time to discuss your trip expectations with Hashim who speaks perfect english and very good french ( you have to challenge him on that ;) ). I would recommand karmayatri over others motorbike trip companies because of what I have seen there: we had medical supplies if needed, a mechanic with us at all time, our backpacks in the support car so we were free to ride as we wished whereas other groups had topcases or bags, and above all, we were a small group so we could ride longer, wait less for other riders and we could go to places were 4 people can go easily without too much logistic and where a group of 20 cannot. Thank you again for this lifetime experience Karmayatri.
