Having travelled previously with Atul and AB Original through the Himalayas we knew we would not be disappointed when we booked our second trip to see Kerala on an Enfield. We were looking for a slightly more gentle ride this time as we had our partners along to introduce them to riding in India and Atul did not disappoint.
The Kerala trip is well paced with sufficient rest days to see a lot of the surrounding towns and countryside. The bikes we rode were virtually brand new. Plenty of twisty hairpins up and down steep hillsides to make it demanding enough followed by some truly beautiful accommodation in which to enjoy the traditional end of day Kingfisher or two. .
But the real asset on this tour is no doubt the incredible organisation, humour and general demeanour provided by our tour leader Atul and his team. He is indeed an Indian National Treasure (or should be in my opinion) who knows how to present India as one of the most interesting countries I have ever visited.
Our only decision now is whether to book our third return visit in 2020 or 2021- this time Rajasthan.
Thank you so much for the excellent review. It was a pleasure to have you on all our tours and I look forward to seeing you again soon. regards,
A great ride through a great part of the world! A great crew, very well organized & planned, with good accommodation & side trips. I would recommend to anyone who likes India & motorcycles. I am a repeat customer so that should say it all.
Thank you so much for the excellent review. It was a pleasure to have you on all our tours and I look forward to seeing you again soon. regards,
As a novice pillion rider who had only been on the back of a motorbike a handful of times before going to India, I was a little apprehensive at what was in store but I truly loved every moment. I can’t commend Atul and his team enough for this well designed and well paced tour through beautiful Kerala. Atul is a true professional with enormous attention to detail and a level of care second to none. We stayed in beautiful places, rode through different landscapes each day and shared the experience with really lovely people. This is a unique way to see India and we’ll be back! Thanks Atul. Jane

If you ever wanted to visit India and you love motorcycles, AB Original Tours are the guys for you.
They will take care of every detail from the first class accommodation to the best of Indian food and everything in between, leaving you free to enjoy riding the back roads and hill country of Kerala.
The classic Royal Enfield 500 is simply the best way to experience the sights, sounds and smells of Indian villiage life. The riding is challenging, exhilarating and somehow safe as Indian road users, like fish swimming in a river, all seem to be travelling with the same purpose.
The riding stages are well paced with much needed rest days between the long legs when interesting tours take in the local culture and sights.
Atul is not only totally prepared and completely across every little thing, he is very personable with stories, breifings and commentary filling in all the intetesting trivia along the way. He brings everyone along with games and competitions that moulded our group into a happy, hilarious crew of new friends.
The tour team also includes a mechanic, driver and backup man whose motto, "relax and I will fix it" take care of luggage, engine tweaking and any problem you might encounter.
I loved being a Royal Enfield guy in India and next time hope to sign up with my wife, daughter and her partner for the Rajasthan tour.
Thankyou Atul and team.

Just returned from another brilliant trip to India with Atul and his crew at A B original tours on the Coconut Tour through Kerala. Like most of the tour riders (and pillions) I’m a repeat customers with Atul, having done a two week Himalayan trip in 2014.
A Royal Enfield is a great way to experience the mayhem, chaos and beaty of India and its people. Atul makes it so easy, all you have to do is get to India and A B original tours look after the rest. Great roads and scenery, safe well maintained bikes, excellent accommodation and food (bugger the diet). Atul makes it a pleasure to share his passion for riding and his country.
I have no hesitation in highly recommending A B original tours for your next riding adventure. Be it a mid-life crisis, special ocassion or just to enjoy the magic of India on a motorbike go with A B original Tours.
Can’t wait to do Rajasthan (or the Himalaya or Kerala again).

We know Atul well now, having been on a three week Rajasthan Tour in 2012 and a three week Himalaya Tour in 2014 so we were very comfortable with the idea of doing his very first Kerala Tour in January 2019. As usual all pre-tour arrangements were clear and precise, what else would you expect from Atul. The tour was a great experience, good motorcycling, more bend swinging than Rajasthan but not as challenging as the Himalaya, with plenty of time off the bike to either relax or join in on Atul's interesting and enjoyable side tours, the choice is yours. The roads were interesting and varied and a little less chaotic than northern India, the whole tour had a more relaxed feel with a wide range of scenery and climate, from cool hill stations at up to 7000ft altitude to warm coastal resorts. A great tour to suit couples with limited holiday time with a good balance of motorcycling, sightseeing and relaxing if required. Accommodation and food were excellent too, some of the hotels were in super locations with amazing views. Thanks Atul for yet another thoroughly enjoyable tour and experience.
