Touring through dry desert landscapes, green jungle, National Parks, this is an exploration of weird and wonderful temple sites depicting civilisations hundreds and thousands of years old. We’re not racing and though we do ride long distances, we stop and explore. We go on safari and we’re looking for tigers.

There’s tons of wildlife and it’s often visible from the road as we ride through these vast unspoilt nature reserves. Orchha, Khajuraho, Sanchi and Agra - all by the ‘seat of your pants’; spanning 2,300kms over 3 weeks, this is a real look at some of Central India’s jewels. If the ranges are rocky, the grasslands wet and swampy, and the valleys lushly carpeted in forest then it must be Bandhavgarh National Park of world renown and home to India’s Prject Tiger.

Riding down the Narmada River, Madhya Pradesh’s longest river at of over 1200kms, we discover amazing natural fault lines the creator of The White Marble falls near Jabalpur, the geometric-centre of India.

In our Jhansi hotel amidst blackened portraits of the Britishers, we brace ourselves to find the old fortress of Rani of Jhansi, whose legendary bravery against the British made her a National Heroine. Our Finale lies north in Agra, to marvel at the magnificent Taj Mahal.
