India and Nepal with 200cc

Actually i was going in the past with my friend Vedat. But i couldn't manage the time and he went with Rahmi Barutçu.

I will definitely go there in the future insallah.

From your eyes this report was amazing, thanks alot again.

Thank you Cüneyt.

Long journeys most difficult part is this :).
You shouldnt wait for appropriate time. It never comes. :))

Moradam,

where in Delhi did you rent the 200? what is the gentleman's contact information? And you are right... no time is the right time! the Mrs. and I are looking at renting 2 bikes in the near future! Plans are made and passports have been received and now just need the airfare! Thanks again for your adventure!

I rented that bike at "Rajeev Bike". Rajeev's shop is in Delhi.
If you call Rajeev, he will help you. His contact informations are here:



Have a good trip :)

Thanks for the great RR! Every time I think I don't Really want to go to India, one of these reports shows up and I get the whole Eastern Europe or India argument going in my head!

Thank you HogFan,
If crowd and pollution is not problem for you, you should go round India. I think India is realy magic country and Indians so friendly and that is so safe country. I didn't encountered any problem in here.

Thankyou Moradam for an inspiring report.
I wonder sometimes whether car drivers do trips like this and write reports, but I bet they don't.

I went across northern India in 1976, part of the overland thing from England to Australia, by bus/trains etc. Now close to retiring, my dream is the Mahendra highway along the lower lands of Nepal, but including India as part of the get there/get back. As you mentioned earlier, the hardest part is the decision to go, the rest is just planing.

Thanks for the wonderful photography. I may have missed it in the RR, but what camera did you take? I hate carrying a brick as I see so many tourists lugging around, preferring something I can slip into my pocket, but there is always a trade off with picture quality, and your's are superb.

Just came across this thread. What stunning photography....Moradam has the eye. Beautiful feel for the "incredible India" (their tourist slogan). I lived in India for 2009, and also spent close to a year in India & Nepal/Pakistan/AFG in the late 70's....his pictures in 6 weeks are so much deeper than any I've got. Just incredible. Maybe the "rule" for India because its so crowded and "fast" one should just slow down some more. In my experience, despite the traffic and din, India is really a very laid back country.

Thank you TwoUpTourer.
If I travel by bike, I don't like carry big bags, big cameras. This photographs were took by canon sx210.

Thank you Chazbird :).

Thank you for this RR, Moradam. Its all been said before by other readers but your report captures something of the essence of Indian life.

Thank you overlandr :). India is big and amazing country. This RR about of a little part of India.
I went Rajasthan by bike this year and I stayed 1 month. Different worlds in same country...

Thank you for the RR Moradam, excellent photo's,only heightened my desire to go to India and the pic's of Nepal bring back great memories of when I was there in 1987.Can't believe they now charge to get into Durbar square, that's tourism I suppose

Thank you gavo.
Durbar Square has got 4 or 5 entrances. I paid admission fee only at main street. Other entrances free (!?).

Awesome thread with awesome pics... :)
