Winter Is Festival Season for Indian Riders

The heat is gone, the monsoon is behind us and the roads are calling. From November to January, India’s biggest rider festivals land one after another. Here’s the full calendar, so you can plan your rides and your leave.

Eastbound 2026 · 14–19 November · Delhi to Dzongu

Asteride’s own flagship ride: 1,675 km from Delhi to Sikkim Riders Meet in three riding days. Follow the ride.

Sikkim Riders Meet 2026 · 16–18 November · Dzongu, North Sikkim

Organised by the Dirty Angels Motorcycle Club, SRM heads to the protected Dzongu valley this year and supports local livelihoods after the 2023 flood. Asteride is the official Community & Technology Partner. Dzongu needs a permit, so read our Dzongu riding guide before you go.

Royal Enfield’s festival returns to Goa in the brand’s 125th year, with live music, test rides, dirt and trail tracks and workshops. Early bird passes were announced at ₹2,599 per person.

The season closes at India’s widest waterfall. BRM 2.0 brings a bike march of the clubs, a dirt bike race championship, a stunt show, tribal culture and live music. Asteride is the Official Community, Technology & Ticketing Partner, and early bird passes start at ₹2,000. Register here.

Make a season of it

• Plan around leave, not just dates. Add travel days at both ends, because the ride there is half the experience.

• Book stays early. Venue tents and nearby hotels fill first.

• Ride with a crew. Long rides to festivals are safer and more fun in a group with a lead and sweep.

• Track your pack. Asteride’s PackTrack shows every rider live, so regrouping on unfamiliar roads is easy.
