"I always dreamed of riding with a group, I'm grateful that TVS Moto diaries became one of those, and riding with them through the curves of the Himalayas was an amazing experience. The way you meet such great minds on the ride, you don't just come back as a rider but as a great explorer. TVS takes care of all your stays and luggage while you have to focus on the day-to-day ride as planned. The best part is that you don't need to worry about your vehicle on the terrain as the expert mechanics will make your machine feel new the next day. I'm eager again to join the ride and again get lifetime memories."

"I've been a proud member of the Apache Owners Group (AOG) for quite some time now, and I've had the privilege of participating in several of their marquee rides. Each expedition has been an unforgettable adventure, thanks to the unparalleled TVS Moto diaries brotherhood. From well-planned arrangements and expert maintenance team, no challenge has ever stood in our way. I'm eagerly looking forward to joining future expeditions and creating more incredible memories with TVS Moto diaries."

"Riding with TVS every time adds different experiences. I always wanted to see a different trail in the mountains every time something different that would interest my visualisations, so as TVS Moto diaries always keeps on adding new route plans. Last year TVS Moto diaries ride was added with Offroad trails and Offroad training session with Aishwarya Pissay and I must say the experience was totally worth it! Every point in the itinerary was covered with ample time to relax and enjoy with fellow TVS Moto diaries riders."
Gayatri Patel
"Riding with TVS was absolutely a lifetime experience. To witness the beauty with such support from TVS Moto diaries and riding along with Aishwarya Pissay. Couldn't have done it any better way than this. I want to thank the whole team for making this happen and I'll surely be back for more TVS Moto diaries madness!!"

"Riding with TVS was the best ride of TVS Moto diaries. From the first day to the last day the ride's terrain gets tougher but team TVS made it easier day by day. "
Pradeep Patwari
"Riding with TVS was a life-changing experience. I’ve been riding bikes for 20 years and was still not aware of many riding techniques. I learned a lot of them during the ride. It gave me a lot of memories and I’m extremely happy to be part of TVS Moto diaries! "
