This Heartfelt Story of a Foreigner's Bike Ride across Rajasthan Hits Straight in the Feels

After visiting many places in India, there is one state that stands out for me from the others and that is Rajasthan. There are seven districts which I wanted to explore – Jaipur, Jodhpur, Ajmer, Udaipur, Bikaner, Kota, and Bharatpur.

Last year, I had the opportunity to explore Rajasthan using an RE Motorbike. 2000 km of the journey from Jaipur to Jaisalmer for ten days. We were talking about this journey for almost six years, and it finally happened!

All of us were strangers, and we became a family because of the struggle we endured during this journey. From finding the best restaurant to eat to sleeping on a five-foot bench because it was too cold and too dark to ride, I cannot have this kind of experience elsewhere.

Coming from a place that has the view of a building, the landscape through Rajasthan is just amazing. We love to take a rest by the small shop near the highway to sip through a cup of hot milk tea and masala chips.

Our end goal was to reach Jaisalmer, and everyone was so excited to sleep with a view of billion stars in the Thar Desert as well as the camel ride to see the sunrise.

It was one of the most amazing journeys I had — a trip of a lifetime. There are new routes I need to discover after this. Hopefully, everything will be okay soon and I will be able to explore more.

Every journey is different, and this was a story of its own. The kind of story that you need to experience to understand. I had the best companions and the best experience with these fantastic people. Beyond words, beyond people, and beyond borders.
