Guwahati – The Gateway of the North East is flooding this season with riders for the adventure ride of Tawang. After Leh – Ladakh, riders are looking to explore the unexplored, and nothing can be better than renting the bikes from Guwahati and start exploring the North East. The most popular destinations like Shillong, Cherrapunji, and Dawki, Tawang (Arunachal Pradesh) is emerging as great destinations for adventure motorists.

We have seen that few riders approaching Tawang without proper preparation, which is going to add to the miseries. Hence, we came up with an article on how to approach a Tawang motorcycle ride.

1. Reserve your motorcycle at Guwahati Bike Rental Online. The best motorcycles that are suitable are Bajaj Avenger 220 Street (900 / Day), Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 (900/Day), Royal Enfield Classic 350 (1300/Day), Royal Enfield Thunderbird (1300/ Day), Desert Storm (1500/ Day) and Royal Enfield STD 500 (1800/ Day) and many more recently added bikes and cars that you can rent as well.

2.  Ask for additional helmets if required.

3.  Ask for a luggage carrier if required.

4.  Carry special gloves, Knee Pads, and Jackets to keep yourself safe from weather and winds.

5.  Roads near Tawang are treacherous, as you may need to ride the bike over ice. Try not to apply brakes and go slow over them.

6.  Don’t make a short 5 -6 day trip to Tawang. We recommend planning at least 10 – 12 days of the trip so you do not have to ride in a hurry. Additional days to explore other regions such as Kaziranga National Park, Shillong, Cherrapunji, Dawki, etc.

7.  Don’t forget to carry a DSLR Camera so you do not miss the beautiful and mesmerizing valleys of Arunachal Pradesh and beautiful lakes.

8.  Do not apply brake unnecessarily, as brake shoes tend to wear out on excessive braking on downhills.

9. Contact us in advance so we can arrange permits and other things well before you start your trip.

10. Do not rent motorcycles that might have gone for cheap. Nothing in the world comes for free/cheap. People offering cheap services have evolved ways to lure riders, and they may make it costlier for you later.

11. Make sure you have survival lit. A good quality matchbox, a Swiss knife, a toolkit (Ask us for it, we offer it for free for every motorcycle rental Ex Guwahati), clutch wire, and enough cash.

12. Please do not ask for roadside assistance in Tawang, as we may be unable to fulfil it. You should be able to tackle minor problems on the bike on the way. After all, humans are more reliable than machines.

Conquering Tawang is a great experience in itself. Get on to it this season. Tomorrow never comes!!!
