Here ’ s a whistle-stop tour of our most colourful destinations :
BHUTAN
Nestled in the Eastern Himalayas between Tibet and India , Bhutan is a Buddhist nation with stunning scenery , a welcoming population , exotic culture , and mountainous riding . It offers a unique lifestyle and customs — the closest you ’ ll come to time travel . Orange & Black was the first tour operator to run an authorised motorcycle tour here .
INDIA
Our Rajasthan tour includes visits to the Taj Mahal and a tiger reserve . Other Indian adventures include the mountains , beaches , tea plantations , and jungles of Kerala , the high deserts , and the alpine vistas of Ladakh , Zanskar , and the Himalayan High Roads ( including Umling La , the world ’ s highest motorable pass ). Orange & Black runs five distinct tours in India , and we take pride in our reputation for quality and organisation — things not always easy to achieve on the Subcontinent .
TIBET
Everest — the name alone stirs the imagination ! Our ‘ Roof of the World Adventure ’ includes a trip to Everest Base Camp . Tibet was a forbidden land to Westerners for many years , and this trip is worth the wait . The roads are stunning , the views majestic ! Riding a motorcycle in this part of the world creates unique and special memories that last a lifetime . We try our best to describe it , but until you ’ ve been , you can ’ t imagine the beauty of the landscapes and the simple pleasure of being in a world so different from home .
