Royal Enfield on Rent in Rishikesh
Six Royal Enfield models. Fifty vehicles. All insured, all on taxi-series plates, all cleared to ride anywhere in Uttarakhand.
Rishikesh is where the plains stop. Everything north of here is switchbacks, river gorges and altitude, and a Royal Enfield is the machine most people picture themselves on when they imagine riding it. We’ve been putting riders on those bikes from our shop beside Ram Jhula since 2015.
- Insured & taxi-plated
- ✓ 50 vehicles
- ✓ Free helmet, lock & carrier
- ✓ Free delivery in Rishikesh
- ✓ Open 24 hours

Where These Bikes Are Actually Going
Most of our rentals don’t stay in Rishikesh. They go north. Because every bike carries a commercial taxi-series plate and all-Uttarakhand permissions, you can ride through any district in the state without a checkpost problem — which is not true of every rental bike in this town.
| Route | Distance | Days | Bike we’d put you on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kunjapuri sunrise | 35 km | Half day | Anything, including the Activa |
| Neelkanth Mahadev | 32 km | Half day | Hunter 350 or Classic 350 |
| Chopta & Tungnath | 165 km | 2 days | Himalayan 411 |
| Kedarnath | 220 km | 3 days | Himalayan 411 or 450 |
| Badrinath & Mana | 295 km | 3–4 days | Himalayan 450 |
| Chardham circuit | ~1,600 km | 10–12 days | Himalayan 450 |
Tell us the route when you book. We’ll set the bike up for the distance, hand you a mechanic’s contact on that road, and tell you honestly if it’s closed.
How It Works
1. Message us the dates. WhatsApp is fastest. We’ll confirm availability and hold the bike.
2. Send documents ahead. A photo of your driving licence and one government ID. Foreign riders: passport plus International Driving Permit. Full list on the documents page.
3. Collect, or we deliver. Our shop is two minutes from the Ram Jhula footbridge on the Swarg Ashram side. Or give us your hotel and we’ll bring it, free, anywhere in Rishikesh — see pickup and delivery.
4. Ride. Helmet, chain lock and luggage carrier included. The bike is yours until 8 AM on your return day.
Why Riders Book With Us
The paperwork holds up
Self-drive rental in India requires a commercial taxi-series plate. A lot of Rishikesh shops rent private white-plate bikes because they’re cheaper to run. If you’re stopped at a checkpost on the Badrinath road with one, the fine and the argument are yours, not theirs. Every bike we own is plated correctly and insured. Read the rental terms — they’re written in plain language, not fine print.
We know which road washed out last week
Ten years on these roads means we know which stretch of the Rudraprayag–Guptkashi highway is under repair, which fuel pump past Joshimath is reliable, and what “the road is open” actually means in the second week of July. That’s more useful than a discount.
Someone answers at 9 PM in Chopta
If a bike stops 150 km from here, you get a person on WhatsApp and a mechanic’s number on your route. For genuine mechanical failure we arrange recovery or a replacement.
The quoted price is the price
No cleaning charge invented at handback, no fuel-gauge argument, no seasonal surprise.
Prefer Someone Riding in Front?
Some routes are better with a mechanic, a backup vehicle and permits already stamped. Our sister operation runs small-group guided Himalayan expeditions from Rishikesh — Do Dham, the full Chardham circuit, and Adi Kailash with Inner Line Permits arranged.
