How did Rakatanga Tour started?
After 13 months on a motorcycle traveling alone from Paris to Bangkok, Pablo decides to organize motorcycle trips in the Ladakh area to raise funds for the NGO Amigos de Tara. Shortly afterwards, he formed his travel company Rakatanga Tour Pvt Ltd, which still continues to provide a portion of the profits obtained to local NGOs.
Pablo discovers India in 1990 and since then, begins to travel by motorcycle throughout the North of the country. Later he will spend two years of studies in Rajasthan falling in love with the country and its roads that he still rides in Royal Enfield. In that year he makes the mythical road from Manali to Leh and is forever marked by the beauty of the landscape and the exceptional adventure he experiences. At that time he began to think about the possibility of bringing motorcycle groups to that remote part of India. He will not create his company until many years later. He will continue to return to India for long periods, always riding it on a motorcycle. In 2007 he created his blog Rakatanga Tour where he describes his 13 month journey traveling by motorcycle 45000kms from Paris to Bangkok. In 2008 he organizes his first tour to Ladakh and in 2011 he settles in Delhi to create the travel agency Rakatanga Tour Pvt Ltd. He currently lives between Delhi and Paris and some other countries opening new routes with new destinations.
In 2014 Raul, joins as a partner and in the direction of Rakatanga Tour. His experience of years traveling by motorcycle through India brings a new air to the tours that he begins to elaborate and to guide in that year. In love with the off-road driving, he starts developing off-road tours for our offers. He is an active member in the social networks and the motorcycle scene in Spain.
If you do not see him leading a group in Asia, he is doing the crazy things on his motorbike or discovering new off-road routes in some remote country. He has his personal blog in which he tells us about his diverse adventures in the Indian subcontinent.
