During your motorcycle journey, you will be accompanied by our dedicated tour guides and other riders. Our tour guides are English-speaking and often French-speaking, experienced riders with a deep passion for travel and Royal Enfield motorcycles, ensuring you are in good hands for your adventure. They will facilitate communication, act as intermediaries between you and the support team (including mechanics and drivers), and help foster meaningful interactions with local communities through their excellent communication skills.

To stay healthy, follow basic hygiene practices: wash your hands before each meal and avoid tap water in areas where it is not safe. We recommend bringing a reusable water bottle, which you can refill with filtered water available at hotels, to help reduce plastic waste.

For added safety, carry a basic first aid kit and be cautious with food and drinks. If you have specific dietary needs or preferences, please inform us in advance so we can accommodate them.

If you follow a specific diet (e.g., vegetarian, vegan) or have dietary restrictions (e.g., food allergies, gluten intolerance), please inform us before your trip. This will allow us to make the necessary arrangements and work with local partners to best meet your needs.

However, please note that meals are often taken outside of hotels, such as at local restaurants and street stalls. It may be difficult to check all ingredients and preparation methods at these locations. We will do our best to accommodate your dietary requirements, but we advise you to exercise caution and communicate any concerns in advance to ensure a smooth experience.
