Based in Mumbai and Chandigarh, Helmet Stories was started by Vir Nakai and Harsh Man Rai. They have been offering tours into the high Himalayas, through Ladakh and Spiti Valley. But what the men behind it enjoy the most is offering rides down the path-less-ridden. They offer biking tours, photography tours and custom tours.
They did the first tour in 2013 to Pangi Valley in Himachal Pradesh, and now that’s on the radar of other tour operators. They also do a lovely ride down the Konkan Coast from Mumbai to Goa. I rode with them on this route as we made our way to India Bike Week 2014, and it was thrilling to ride on a deserted beach and just hug the coast all the way down.

Note: For all the tours mentioned above, you need to be a competent motorcycle rider, hold a valid driving license, and come with a sense of adventure. For your next holiday, I hope you’ll add on a half-day ride in Goa, or go for a full adventure in Africa.
