12 Places In India To Explore On Two Wheels
India is full of potholed roads, we admit. But then the thrill of taking a road-trip in the country and exploring the scenic beauty of India by road is unparalleled. What if we told you some of the cities in India are best viewed on a two-wheeler? Feeling the wind whistle past your helmet, the thrill of snaking through narrow lanes and twisty roads, zooming past trucks and cars...?
Some thrills of a two-wheeler can only be felt, not described. And when you combine a love for travel and a set of two wheels, the world is your oyster! But which cities can you explore on your favourite set of wheels? Read on to know!
1. South Mumbai, Mumbai
The never-ending expanse of sea, amazing Victorian architecture and open roads... South Mumbai is one of the best places within the city to explore on a two-wheeler. What's more, there are tons of eateries to stop by and hog at. Make sure you ride along Fort, and take in all the British architecture. Or if you're tired of riding, just stop your scooter by the sea, stop, breathe in the fresh sea air and take off again!
2. All of Goa
The scooter and bike capital of India. Seriously. If you visit Goa and travel any way other than by two-wheeler, then you don't deserve to be in Goa. The roads around Baga and Candolim are a riot with vacationers and locals zooming around on their two-wheelers. Getting a two-wheeler on rent in Goa is the easiest thing ever. Most of the locals rent them out. What's best? The petrol rates in Goa are cheap too! Ideal, isn't it?
3. Hampi, Vijaynagar
The little village of Hampi is one of the best places to explore on your scooter. It can save you a lot of trouble of walking, plus you can go along at your own pace and enjoy the ride with spectacular views. In fact, the temples of Hampi are a site to see while you're riding around. There are even many scooter renting stores right outside the ruins for you to hop on and explore.
4. Chandni Chowk, Delhi
The tiny little lanes will enthrall you with the local seller wares, the crazy confusion of the city and its true colourful form. The roads and lanes are narrow enough to easily allow you to roam on your scooter and while you're in there, do not forget to sample the delicious parathas at Parathewali Galli!
5. Ludara, Jaisalmer
While in Jaisalmer try taking your scooter from the Fort ruins to Ludara. On your way, stop by the sand dunes and take a short camel safari if you wish. Taking a scooter through the narrow lanes, you will be able to experience the real Rajasthani life. Do not forget to stop by a dhaba for some lip-smacking Rajasthani food!
