Royal Enfield Himalayan on Rent in Rajkot — Built for Saurashtra's Long Hauls

Rajkot may sit in the flat Saurashtra plains, but it's the launchpad every Gujarat rider uses before pointing a Royal Enfield Himalayan at the hills. The city's own roads — 150 Feet Ring Road, Kalawad Road, Gondal Road — are wide and fast, which makes a Himalayan feel overkill for daily commuting and absolutely perfect for what comes next: the long, hot run to Dwarka on NH947, the pilgrim corridor to Somnath on NH27, or the 165 km sprint to Gir Forest where the tarmac gives way to dusty forest tracks. If you're flying into Rajkot Airport (just 8 km from the city centre) and want a bike waiting at the terminal, that's doable with a day's notice. The real appeal here is positioning — from Rajkot you can knock out a Dwarka-Somnath circuit in two days, ride to Ahmedabad on the excellent 4-lane NH947 in under four hours, or push further north towards Mount Abu and the Aravallis when you want proper hill time. It's a Himalayan owner's staging ground, not a showroom.

Why Choose Us

• Saurashtra Route Knowledge

  Our Rajkot vendors know NH947 and NH27 conditions week by week — where the diversions are, which dhabas near Limbdi actually have clean washrooms, and how bad the crosswinds get on the Dwarka stretch after 2 PM.

• Airport Handover at RAJ

  Rajkot Airport is only 8 km from the ring road, so we can have your Himalayan fuelled, checked and waiting when you land — useful if you're flying in from Mumbai or Delhi for a Gir or Somnath run.

• Bikes Set Up for Gujarat Heat

  Saurashtra summers hit 42°C. Our Rajkot fleet comes with coolant checks, fresh engine oil, and a spare clutch cable — the Himalayan's known weak point on long, hot highway days.

• Dry State Briefing

  Gujarat is a dry state. If you're an out-of-state rider planning a multi-day Dwarka-Somnath loop, we tell you upfront so you're not caught out at a hotel in Porbandar or Veraval.

• Gir Safari Timing Support

  Gir lion safari slots sell out weeks ahead and the gates want you there by 5 AM. We'll help you plan your Rajkot departure time so the 165 km NH27 ride doesn't wreck your safari slot.

• Verified Rajkot Vendors Only

  Every Himalayan we list comes from a background-checked Rajkot operator — no random bikes from Gondal Road garages with questionable paperwork or missing insurance.

• Free Multi-Vendor Quotes

Popular Vehicles

• Royal Enfield Himalayan 411

  Himalayan 411 BS6 (2019-2023)

  Best for: The Rajkot-to-Dwarka or Rajkot-to-Somnath highway run — proven, cheap to run, and happy sitting at 90 km/h on NH947 all day.

• Royal Enfield Himalayan 450

  Himalayan 450 (2024 onwards)

  Best for: Riders heading beyond Gujarat into Rajasthan or the Aravallis, where the extra power and better suspension actually matter.

• ADV Touring Setup

  Himalayan with panniers, top box, crash guards, phone mount

  Best for: The 2-day Dwarka-Somnath circuit — you need luggage capacity for an overnight stop and the crash guards for Saurashtra's unpredictable side roads.

• Coastal Cruiser Alternative

  Royal Enfield Classic 350, Meteor 350

  Best for: If your Rajkot trip is mostly Somnath-Porbandar coastal highway and you don't actually need Himalayan ground clearance, these are lighter and cheaper.

• Group ADV Rental

  2-4 Himalayans booked together

  Best for: Rajkot's engineering SME crowd doing weekend group rides to Gir or the Girnar foothills near Junagadh — we can arrange matching bikes from one vendor.

Services Offered

• Self-Drive Himalayan Rental — Pick up from Kalawad Road or the 150 Feet Ring Road area with valid licence, Aadhaar and a security deposit. Ideal for the Rajkot-Jamnagar NH947 run, which is only 90 minutes each way.
• Airport Pickup and Drop — Bike handed over at Rajkot Airport (RAJ) or delivered to your hotel near Race Course or University Road. Give us 24 hours' notice and we'll have it fuelled and ready.
• Dwarka-Somnath Circuit Packages — 3-day rental with panniers, covering Rajkot to Dwarka (240 km via NH947), Dwarka to Somnath, and back to Rajkot. Includes route briefing and fuel-stop suggestions.
• Gir Forest Safari Ride Support — Early-morning departure planning for the 165 km NH27 ride to Sasan Gir, timed so you reach the gate before the 6 AM safari slot. We'll flag if your bike needs a pre-dawn fuel stop.
• Outstation Multi-Day Rental — Extended rentals for riders going Rajkot to Ahmedabad (220 km on NH947) or further into Rajasthan. Daily and weekly rates available with unlimited kilometres on most bikes.
• Guided Group Rides — For Rajkot's rider groups heading to Girnar, Junagadh or the Gir periphery — we can arrange 3-5 matching Himalayans from a single verified vendor with a lead rider.

Tips

• Leave Rajkot before 6 AM for the Gir run — NH27 traffic builds up near Gondal and you want to hit the Sasan Gir gate by 5-6 AM for your safari slot.
• On the Rajkot-Dwarka NH947 stretch, fuel up at Limbdi or Surendranagar — pumps get sparse after that and the Himalayan's range isn't infinite at highway speeds.
• Carry a spare clutch cable on any Himalayan rental out of Rajkot. It's a known weak point and Saurashtra's interior workshops rarely stock Enfield-specific parts.
• If you're riding to Somnath in monsoon (July-September), check NH27 conditions — the Saurashtra coast gets heavy rain and some stretches flood near Veraval.
• Gujarat is a dry state. If you're bringing out-of-state friends on a Dwarka-Somnath overnight trip, brief them before they arrive so there's no awkward surprise at the hotel.
• For the Rajkot-Ahmedabad NH947 ride, avoid leaving between 8-10 AM — the ring road and Kalawad Road junctions get badly clogged with SME commuter traffic.
• Book your Gir safari tickets online at least 3-4 weeks ahead. The 165 km ride from Rajkot is pointless if you arrive without a confirmed slot.
• August to October is peak pilgrim season for Somnath and Dwarka — book your Himalayan rental and hotel together, as both get tight during that window.
