Ranotsava 3.0: Where Riding Meets Culture

Some events you attend. Ranotsava, you ride into.

On 5–7 September 2026, Rajasthan's premier riding and cultural experience returns for its biggest edition yet three days of desert trails, machine culture, live music and the kind of camaraderie that only happens when riders from across the country point their bikes at the same horizon. The destination this year: Menaal Residency, Kota, Rajasthan.

Ranotsava is built by Club Roaring Hawks, with Asteride as the official Community & Ticketing Partner and it has grown into one of the most anticipated gatherings on the Indian riding calendar.

From 250 riders to a movement

Ranotsava didn't arrive fully formed. It was built, edition by edition, by a community that kept coming back:

• Ranotsava 1.0 (2023) - 250+ riders, 30+ clubs, pan-India participation and 40K+ social reach.

• Ranotsava 2.0 (2025) - 300+ riders, strong repeat participation and an expanded roster of brand collaborations.

• Ranotsava 3.0 (2026) - targeting 350+ riders, 50+ clubs, 100K+ reach and 15+ brands on the ground.

Each year the tents get bigger, the trails get longer, and the community gets tighter. 3.0 is the culmination so far.

The ride is the point

Ranotsava is a riders' festival first - and that means the roads leading to Kota matter as much as the venue itself.

Clubs and solo riders roll in from across the country, turning highways into convoys as they converge on Rajasthan. At the heart of the on-ground riding is the signature trail ride from Kota to Rawatbhata, led by expert riders through some of the region's most cinematic terrain - the kind of raw, mixed roads that reward a good machine and a better crew.

Riding in from Delhi? Asteride is planning an official group ride to Ranotsava from Delhi - a led convoy so you arrive as part of a crew, not alone. Registrations for the Delhi ride open shortly; keep an eye on the Asteride app to claim your spot.

The Mile-Eater Challenge

Every rider at Ranotsava has a story about the distance they covered to get there. This year, that distance earns its own crown.

The Mile-Eater Challenge, facilitated by Asteride, goes to the rider who travels the farthest to Ranotsava on their own bike - and they'll take home the most prestigious gift from Team Ranotsava and Asteride. Log the miles, ride them honestly, and the longest journey wins.

Three days, packed end to end

Beyond the riding, Ranotsava 3.0 is a full cultural and community immersion. The line-up includes:

• Build Your Bike Activity - hosted by IBRMC (@Sunil John, Akka Maatsaab)

• Live Stunt Show - performed by Faizan and the Steel Silencerz group

• Arm Bar Challenge - test your grip against the best

• Blindfold Matka Fodo - a couples' competition with plenty of laughs

• The Mile-Eater Challenge - facilitated by Asteride

• Folk Dance - Rajasthani cultural performances on the evening of 5th September

And that's on top of the wider festival experience: live band and Sufi performances, guided visits in and around Kota, riding-tips and moto-vlogging sessions with known riders and influencers, special ladies' activities curated with the Kota Rotary Club, a cycle tour for kids and early-morning explorers, felicitation of riders, brand activation zones, and professional photography, videography and drone coverage capturing every moment.

Cultural nights, machine culture, competition and community - all in one seamless journey.
