        A TVS Ntorq scooty is per day, a Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 is per day and a KTM 390 Adventure is per day. A refundable deposit applies and fuel is extra.

        What documents do I need to rent a bike?

        Your original driving licence covering two-wheelers, plus an Aadhaar card, passport or other government photo ID. Foreign nationals need their passport with a valid visa.

        Can I pick up in Dalhousie and drop the bike somewhere else?

        Yes. We have our own offices in Dalhousie, Banikhet, McLeodganj and Pathankot. Pick up at one and drop at another, in either direction. A one-way drop charge may apply and is included in your quote.

        Can I rent a bike in Pathankot and ride up to Dalhousie?

        Yes. Pick up at our Pathankot office on Dalhousie Road and ride straight up into the hills. Our Pathankot, Dalhousie and Khajjiar package is built around exactly this ride.

        Which bike do I ride on Sach Pass, Bharmour or Kugti?

        Sach Pass, Bharmour and Kugti are ridden only on a Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 or 450, which handle the broken roads and water crossings.

        When is Sach Pass open?

        Usually from around June to October, depending on snow. The exact opening changes every year, so message us before planning your dates.

        How long does the ride from Dalhousie to Sach Pass take?

        As a one-day ride, leave Dalhousie by 6:00 am and expect to be back by about 9:00 pm, roughly 280 km in all. Many riders split it over two days: Dalhousie to Baragarh (110 km) on day one, then Baragarh to Sach Pass and back to Dalhousie (170 km) on day two. There is a police check post at Satrundi, so carry your ID. Tissa has the last petrol pump on the way, so fill up fully there.

        Call us. With offices in Dalhousie, Banikhet, McLeodganj and Pathankot, help usually comes from whichever is closest. Further out, we guide you to the nearest service centre and cover genuine mechanical faults.
