Frequently Asked Questions About Our Arunachal Pradesh Motorcycle Tour 1. Do I need a permit to travel to Arunachal Pradesh? Yes. Indian tourists require an Inner Line Permit (ILP) to enter Arunachal Pradesh. The permit is applicable to domestic visitors, and the state tourism department provides an online eILP process. Certain border-area destinations, including Bum La, require additional permission and access is subject to local and security clearances. Twisted Trails will assist with the required permits for the expedition. 2. How difficult is the Arunachal Pradesh motorcycle tour? The expedition is rated Intermediate and covers approximately 1,100 km over 10 days, with around 90% tarmac and 10% off-road riding. The route includes high-altitude mountain roads, gravel sections and challenging terrain around Tawang and the border areas. Previous experience with long-distance motorcycle touring and basic off-road riding skills is recommended. 3. Will there be snow during the November Arunachal tour? Snow is possible, particularly around Sela Pass and the higher-altitude areas near Tawang and Bum La. November is also a good period for clearer mountain views, although weather can change quickly at altitude. Road and pass conditions can vary, so the itinerary may be adjusted if required for safety. 4. How do we manage the high altitude on this motorcycle tour? The itinerary is designed with gradual altitude gain, including overnight stops around Bomdila and Dirang before reaching Tawang. This helps riders acclimatize before heading to higher-altitude locations such as Sela Pass and Bum La. At high altitude, riders should stay hydrated, avoid overexertion and immediately report symptoms such as severe headache, dizziness or breathlessness to the tour leader. Tawang Tourism specifically recommends acclimatization before visiting the higher-altitude areas. 5. Can I join the tour without my own motorcycle? Yes. You can join as a rider on a rental Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 or Himalayan 450, or travel as a pillion/SUV passenger. The brochure currently lists RE Himalayan 411 and 450 rental options, along with own-bike and pillion/SUV packages.

  • Sikkim Grandeur – A Himalayan Motorcycle Adventure

    Ride through Sikkim on a 10-day motorcycle adventure covering Lachung, Zero Point, Dzongu, Ravangla, Pelling and Yuksom with Twisted Trails. CAMBODIA ANGKOR TO THE MEKONG - 8-DAY GUIDED ADVENTURE TOUR DATES January 23-31, 2027 PRICE from USD 2,800 Book Now CAMBODIA MOTORCYCLE EXPEDITION – RIDE FROM ANGKOR TO THE MEKONG Cambodia is more than temples. It is a country you have to ride to understand. From the towers of Angkor to the red-dirt tracks of the north and the slow brown sweep of the Mekong, this is the landscape that shaped the Khmer world, and the road runs through all of it. This 8-day journey begins in Siem Reap with a full day among the great monuments of Angkor. Then the real ride starts. Swap the tourist trail for backroads, jungle trails and the sacred plateau of Phnom Kulen, before pushing through remote northern Cambodia to Ta Seng and the forgotten ruins of Preah Khan Kompong Svay. From there, turn east towards the Mekong at Stung Treng and follow the river south through Kratie and Kampong Cham, past plantations, village pagodas and timeless river communities, to finish in Phnom Penh . With a mix of easy dirt, laterite roads and flowing tarmac, a well-placed rest day on the Mekong and daily rides of roughly 90 to 220 km, this journey is built for riders who want to see Cambodia beyond the conventional route: raw, remote and best experienced on two wheels. DAY-WISE ITINERARY PACKAGES & PRICING INCLUSIONS & EXCLUSIONS GALLERY FAQs TOUR HIGHLIGHTS Angkor Wat & Angkor Thom – Start with a private full-day tour of Angkor Wat, the Bayon, the Terrace of the Elephants and Ta Prohm. Phnom Kulen National Park – Ride jungle trails to the sacred plateau of Mahendraparvata, the River of a Thousand Lingas and Kulen Waterfall. Preah Khan Kompong Svay – Walk through a vast, rarely visited Khmer complex that still feels like an expedition. Ta Seng & the Remote North – Ride red-dirt tracks and laterite roads through villages far from the tourist circuit. Stung Treng – Reach the Mekong near its meeting with the Sekong River. Kratie & the Irrawaddy Dolphins – Follow the river south and spend a free day on the Mekong, with optional dolphin watching at Kampi. Koh Trong Island – Slow down on a peaceful river island with village paths and fruit gardens. Kampong Cham & Nokor Bachey – Finish through Mekong countryside and an ancient temple that shares its grounds with a living pagoda.

Settle into the hotel and take the evening at an easy pace after the journey. Meet the crew, complete the initial tour formalities and attend the tour briefing covering the route, riding expectations, permits, weather and high-altitude considerations. Over Night in Gangtok TUE. 10 NOV, 2026 Guwahati to Bomdila – Out of the Plains, Into the Hills 255 km · 8 hrs. Leave the Assam plains behind, cross the Bhairavkunda gate into Arunachal Pradesh and feel the road start to twist. Tropical green gives way to pine and mist as you pass Shergaon and climb steadily into the Kameng hills. Bomdila greets the group with cool air and the first real taste of Himalayan altitude. Overnight in Bomdila First Ride in the Himalayas Gangtok — Unseen Terrains or Changu Lake The motorcycles are collected in the morning and the riding adventure begins. Depending on weather, permits and local conditions, the day will follow either a ride through lesserexplored terrains around Gangtok or the route towards Changu Lake (Tsomgo). The unseen-terrain option focuses on quieter roads and landscapes beyond the conventional sightseeing circuit. If conditions permit, the Changu Lake route offers a dramatic introduction to Sikkim's high-altitude riding. Return to Gangtok by evening. Over Night in Gangtok Into North Sikkim Gangtok to Lachung Leave Gangtok and head north towards Lachung, following the Teesta and its tributaries deeper into the mountains. The landscape changes steadily from green valleys and forested slopes to dramatic Himalayan terrain, with waterfalls, gorges and mountain settlements along the way. Lachung, at around 2,750m, is the gateway to Yumthang Valley and Zero Point. After checking in, rest and acclimatise before tomorrow's high-altitude ride. Over Night in Lachung The High-Altitude Frontier Lachung to Zero Point and back An early start takes the group towards Yumthang Valley and onward to Zero Point (Yumesamdong), at approximately 4,800m. The terrain becomes increasingly stark and dramatic as altitude rises. Spend time at the high point before descending back to Lachung for a relaxed evening and overnight stay. Over Night in Lachung From North Sikkim to the Lepcha Homeland Lachung to Dzongu Leave Lachung and descend through North Sikkim before turning towards Dzongu Valley, a protected homeland of the Lepcha community. The route moves from the stark high-altitude environment into dense forests, river valleys and traditional mountain settlements. Arrive in Dzongu and experience a quieter, more culturally distinctive side of Sikkim. The evening is deliberately unhurried, with time to enjoy the surroundings and the warmth of a traditional homestay. Over Night in Dzongu Across Sikkim's Mountain Heartland Dzongu to Ravangla Today's ride connects the quiet northern valleys with Ravangla in South Sikkim. The route descends and climbs through changing terrain, moving from the forests and river valleys of Dzongu towards the southern slopes. On arrival, settle in and unwind. If time and conditions permit, explore Ravangla or visit Buddha Park and its mountain surroundings. Over Night in Ravangla West Sikkim & the Kanchenjunga Country Ravangla → Pelling → Yuksom Ride west from Ravangla towards Pelling through some of Sikkim's most scenic mountain country. Pelling is known for spectacular Kanchenjunga views and rich monastic heritage. After the Pelling area, continue to Yuksom, the historic gateway to the Kanchenjunga region and one of Sikkim's most atmospheric mountain settlements. Over Night in Yuksom Slow Down in Sikkim's Historic Gateway Yuksom — Rest Day A full rest day in Yuksom gives riders time to recover after several days on the road. There is no scheduled long-distance riding today. Walk around the historic settlement, visit local sights, enjoy the surrounding forests or simply relax at the accommodation. Optional local exploration can be arranged depending on conditions. Over Night in Yuksom The Ride Back to the Capital Yuksom to Gangtok The final riding day takes the group back towards Gangtok, with changing landscapes as the route leaves the quieter roads of West Sikkim and reconnects with the wider network around the capital. Check in at Gangtok for the final night. Return the bikes. The evening is reserved for a relaxed farewell, a final walk through MG Marg and a celebration of the journey through Sikkim. Over Night in Gangtok Until the next Adventure Gangtok to Bagdogra Airport After breakfast, prepare for departure. The team will transfer you by car from Gangtok to Bagdogra Airport, bringing the 10-day Sikkim adventure to a close. Take home the memories of high-altitude roads, remote valleys, forest trails, mountain monasteries and the camaraderie built along the way. Until the next road calls. ✈ Airport transfers from Gangtok to Bagdogra Airport are included. Please book departure flights with sufficient time for the mountain transfer.

Since we will be climbing very high altitudes in a short span of time on multiple occasions and riding in border roads with politically sensitive regions, it is mandatory to follow the safety precautions set by the organizers for your own safety. Also, you are advised to get a health check-up done not more than 15 days before the start of the trip and provide a copy to the organizers. Other safety precautions will be shared during the briefing on Day 1 before the start of the tour.

Apart from the mind-blowing landscapes and various vistas you get to see, there is also the excitement of riding a motorcycle in such inhospitable terrains and treacherous roads. Out of the many things that you need to be prepared for a trip to Ladakh, the most important thing is Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS). Since we will be climbing very high altitudes in short span of time on multiple occasions and riding in border roads with politically sensitive regions, it is mandatory to follow the safety precautions set by the organizers for your own safety. Also, you are advised to get a health checkup done not more than 15 days before the start of the trip and provide a copy to the organizers. Other safety precautions will be shared during the briefing on Day 1 before the start of the tour. Please note that Ladakh is geographically located at a very sensitive part of the country and geo-political situations can change at any point of time. In case of adverse weather conditions or any travel restrictions are placed by the government due to political situations or Covid-19 restrictions, Twisted Trails Adventures will adhere to the rules and can modify the route or cancel the tour as per the government's guidelines.
