Our fleet of Classic, Bullet, and… Himalayan

If you’re a motorcycle enthusiast, the Royal Enfield lineup stands as a realm of its own, boasting iconic designs and timeless appeal. With a legacy dating back to the 19th century, it holds the distinction of being one of the oldest motorcycle brands globally, steadily gaining popularity over the years.

After relying on our Classics & Bullets for years, we introduced Himalayans to our fleet in India last year. This addition brings a touch of freshness and modernity without compromising the iconicity that defines Royal Enfield. Expanding our fleet with these bikes proved to be an excellent decision.

The Himalayans shine in the challenging terrains of the High Himalayas or during tours in Nepal, where road conditions can be demanding. Their versatility extends to our African tours in Namibia and Tanzania & Zanzibar, where gravel and dirt roads dominate the landscape. These bikes perfectly complement our exploration ethos, offering reliability and performance in diverse and adventurous settings.

But what are the differences between our Royal Enfield models?
