  • Year long ( North India - Nepal - Bhutan and North-East India ) Bike Trip Plan

    Hi xBhp members - I'm Jay Dihenkar.


    Coming March, 2020 - I'm planning a year long India Trip. I'll be travelling on my motorcycle - Royal Enfield Himalayan.


    I've consolidated my plan here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...gjbcXQos/edit#


    General outline of the plan is as follows -
    Bangalore - Panchgani - Valsad - Jodhpur - Jaipur - Agra - Chandigarh - Dharmashala - Jammu - Srinagar - Leh - Hanle - Kasol - Spiti Valley - Rishikesh - Joshimath - Nainital - Dharachula - Nepal ( Lower Mustang ) - Kathmandu - Siliguri - Darjeeling - Gangtok - Yumthang - Zuluk - Jaigaon - Bhutan - Thimpu - Paro - Haa - Punakha - Trashigang - Samdrup Jongkhar - Guwahati - Bomdila - Tawang - Itangar - Ziro - Roing - Kohima - Imphal - Aizawal - Agartala - Shillong - Cherrapunji‎ - Kolkata - Bhubaneswar - Visakhapatnam - Araku Valley - Hyderabad - Pune - Valsad.


    Above is just the outline of the trip. Details are in the DOCs and related links of google maps and google spreadsheet which also has a timeline.


    I've been working on this project part-time from last 6 months - doing online research and following multiple moto vloggers and bloggers. There have been multiple posts on xBHP forum which helped putting up this plan together as well.


    After working for past 6 months - I've already worked a lot on this on my own and now it's time to put out the integrated plan to the community here @xBhp for review.


    Everyone - please add comment and do let me know if you have any inputs and also whoever has any plans of visiting places over the lines plotted in the plans - lemme know how your trip goes.


    Hope this plan also helps people who are also planning to take up similar expeditions.


    Thanks

      A very ambitious plan. Seems like a 2L budget trip.

        Considering 1000/- per day so it will come to 3.5-4L budget.

          1000? 1 tankful will cost you 1k for 400 kms/day. Plus very budget stays are also around 1k+ easily. Considering fuel/stay/food around 2.5k / day min.

            Just checked from the timeline - yes fuel cost is something to be kept in mind.
            On an average I'll be travelling 120-150kms per day. In North East the average distance per day will be 165kms/day.

            But I got your point of concern about keep the fuel cost in mind on a daily basis. Maybe I would need to put formal estimation of cost - fuel + stay + food.
            Thanks for putting out this important point.
