SEQUENCE OF EVENTS

DAY 1
The riders arrived at Mandawa to complete their registration formalities, gear check etc. – and to familiarize themselves with the team of instructors and fellow riders alike.

DAY 2
The riders departed Mandawa for Bikaner. The total day’s riding was just short of 200 km – a mixture of sand and tarmac. Handling the bike on sand was the main course of the day.

DAY 3
Day 3 was a ride from Bikaner to Sam, totaling around 370 km. Tricky sand sections were par for the course, with the level 2 and even level 3 dunes at points, depending on the risk appetite of the riders involved. The riders began to gain confidence on sand as the day progressed.

DAY 4 
Day 4 comprised a mixture of dirt, tarmac and sand. Dune climbing techniques were explained in detail and riders spent the day acquainting themselves with the sand. By the end of day’s play, most if not all of the riders had gained a large amount of confidence and skill on what was previously a very foreign surface.

DAY 5
The return leg from Jaisalmer to Bikaner was a challenging one. The path traversed was via the Desert National Park. Riders faced a mix of sand tracks, dunes and tarmac over the course of the day before arriving in Bikaner. A certification ceremony and celebrations followed!

DAY 6
Riders departed for their respective destinations post breakfast.
