No gears, nothing to learn, and it parks in gaps a bike won't fit. If you're here for a yoga course and moving between your school, the market and the ghats, take this and save your money for the trip.
Royal Enfields and scooties on rent from ₹500 a day, from a shop in Ghugtyani Malli that's been renting in Tapovan since 2018. Commercially registered bikes, two helmets, free delivery across Tapovan and Laxman Jhula.
Thirty-five vehicles, all of them ours, all of them commercially registered. That last part matters more than it sounds: Uttarakhand requires a rental two-wheeler to carry a commercial registration, and the checkposts on the Char Dham and Chopta routes check for it. A cheap private-plate rental will get you turned around at Sonprayag.
No gears, nothing to learn, and it parks in gaps a bike won't fit. If you're here for a yoga course and moving between your school, the market and the ghats, take this and save your money for the trip.
The lightest, lowest Enfield we rent. Quicker steering than the Classic and far easier to place in Tapovan traffic — the right first Royal Enfield.
The one people picture when they imagine this trip. Chrome, the thump, and a shape that's been on the Rishikesh–Badrinath road for seventy years.
The proven one. Simpler and lighter than the 450, forgiving when the tarmac stops, and the bike we hand to most first-timers heading for Kedarnath.
The Himalayan 450's engine in something lighter and lower. On the tarmac to Devprayag or Kunjapuri, nothing in our yard is more fun.
The most capable machine we own. Chopta, Auli, Badrinath, Spiti — if the road is going to get bad, take this one.
Tell us the route and how many days you have. We'll tell you which bike actually suits it, including when the cheaper one is the better call.
This is the whole price list. No booking fee, no per-kilometre charge, no cleaning charge on return.

We're in Ghugtyani Malli, Tapovan. If it's easier, we'll bring the bike to your hotel, hostel or ashram anywhere in Tapovan, Laxman Jhula, Ram Jhula or within 3 km — free, and we'll collect it from there too.
Original two-wheeler driving licence and one government photo ID. Visiting from abroad: your home licence plus an International Driving Permit, and your passport.
We'll go around it together, note existing marks, check brakes, chain and tyres, and set the mirrors for your height. Ask us about the route while we do it.
Rental up front, deposit down, two helmets, our number in your phone. Go.
Hem Tiwari opened this shop in 2018 and still runs it. Not a booking platform, not an agent taking a cut from whoever has a bike free — the person who answers the phone is the person who owns the bikes.
All 35+ of our bikes and scooties are commercially registered, which is what the law requires for a rental two-wheeler in Uttarakhand and what the Char Dham checkposts look for. Ask to see the RC before you take the bike — we'd rather you checked us than took our word for it.
Anywhere in Tapovan, Laxman Jhula, Ram Jhula and 3 km around. You don't have to find us, and you don't have to ride back across the bridge to return the bike on your last morning.
Puncture at Byasi, flat battery at Chopta, chain off before Devprayag — call us. Roadside support is part of the rental, not an upsell, and it covers you across Uttarakhand.
Starting from Tapovan puts you on the right side of the river and past the worst of the town traffic — you're pointed at the hills from the moment you turn out of the lane.
We're building our review page on this new site. Read verified rider reviews on our Google Business Profile — and if you've rented from us, we'd genuinely appreciate one there.
Hem Tiwari opened Bike Rentals Tapovan in 2018 with a handful of bikes. We now run 35+ motorcycles and scooties out of Ghugtyani Malli — all owned by us, serviced by us, and ridden by us on the same roads we rent them for.
We're not a booking platform taking a cut from whoever has a bike free. When you call, you get the shop. When something goes wrong at Devprayag at nine at night, you get the same people.
Open every day, 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Walk in, or tell us where you're staying and we'll bring the bike.
We're open until 9 PM and we'll bring it to you. Call now and you can be riding within the hour.
