Motorcycles parked by a lake on a Rishikesh road trip
Bike & Scooty on Rent

The climb to Neelkanth, the river bends towards Byasi, Kunjapuri before sunrise — none of it is much fun from the back of a cab. So we keep highway motorcycles for the long hill runs and light, easy scooties for everything around town. Every vehicle goes out serviced, papers stay in the bike and helmets come with the ride — you tell us the dates, we tell you the price, and that is the price you pay at the end.

Where to Ride Around Rishikesh

Rishikesh is a small town with very good roads leaving it in every direction. These are the rides our bikes go out on most.

Every one of these starts at our counter in Rishikesh.

  1. Triveni Ghat near Rishikesh
    Go at dusk

    Triveni Ghat

    The main bathing ghat. Come at dusk for the Ganga aarti — lamps on the water, bells, and a crowd that goes quiet all at once.

  2. Laxman Jhula & Ram Jhula near Rishikesh
    Late afternoon

    Laxman Jhula & Ram Jhula

    Two suspension bridges over the Ganga, with cafes and markets on either side. Park up and walk across — bikes are not allowed on them.

  3. The Beatles Ashram near Rishikesh
    Morning light

    The Beatles Ashram

    Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s abandoned ashram, now covered in graffiti. Quiet, strange, and very photogenic.

  4. Neer Garh Waterfall near Rishikesh
    Midday, when it is hot

    Neer Garh Waterfall

    A short ride out and a short climb up. Three tiers of falls with a pool at the top that is cold enough to wake you up properly.

  5. Shivpuri near Rishikesh
    Keep the whole day

    Shivpuri

    The rafting stretch, with camps all along the river. The ride there follows the Ganga most of the way — that is half the reason to go.

  6. Rajaji National Park near Rishikesh
    First light

    Rajaji National Park

    Elephants, deer and a long list of birds. Check the gate timings before you set off — the park closes through the monsoon.

  7. Kunjapuri Temple near Rishikesh
    Leave by 4 AM

    Kunjapuri Temple

    Leave by 4 AM and you are on the hilltop for sunrise over the Himalayas. The best road around Rishikesh, and it is not close.

Open all days · 8 AM – 8 PM

Rules for Renting a Bike or Scooter

Please read these before you book. We would rather explain everything now than argue about it later.

Read this one Any damage to the vehicle or helmet is paid for by the renter, and repairs are carried out only at an authorised service centre.

  1. Timings & Returns

    1. The store is open 8 AM – 8 PM, all days. Vehicles are not handed over or taken back outside these hours.
    2. Vehicles must be back by 8:00 PM. Anything returned after that is counted as the next day’s rent.
    3. If a vehicle is not returned at the agreed time, a late fee of ₹200 per hour for a scooty and ₹300 per hour for a bike applies.
    4. Returning a vehicle before the booked period ends does not qualify for a refund.
    5. Need a pickup or drop outside store hours? An extra ₹500 per vehicle applies — whether you return early or on time.
    6. Bookings longer than seven days must be renewed and the previous payment cleared. A vehicle held past the agreed period without renewal is treated as theft and may lead to legal action.
  2. Deposit, Damage & Repairs

    1. Please record a walk-around video of the vehicle before you ride off and send it to us. It protects both of us.
    2. Any damage to the bike, scooty or helmet is charged to the renter.
    3. After an accident or any damage — including damage while parked — the vehicle is repaired only at the authorised service centre or agency, at the renter’s cost.
    4. Rent continues to apply per day until the vehicle is released from the authorised service centre and handed back to us.
    5. Check that the clutch is working properly before you leave. If a clutch problem is reported after delivery, the repair is the renter’s liability.
    6. Triple riding is not allowed. A vehicle found carrying three riders can be taken back anywhere, at any time, and the security deposit is forfeited.
    7. If the vehicle papers go missing, ₹2,000 is charged to the renter.
    8. An extra helmet is ₹100 per day.
  3. Fuel, Tyres & Breakdown

    1. Fuel is not refundable.
    2. Always ride with at least 1 litre in the tank. Running on low fuel damages the fuel system, and any breakdown or damage that follows is charged to the renter.
    3. Punctures and flat tyres are fixed by the renter during the trip.
    4. Mechanical faults during the rental, including any that occur while riding at night, are the renter’s responsibility.
    5. Any roadside support we arrange for you is chargeable.
  4. Where You Can Ride

    1. The vehicle must stay within 30 km of our office. Beyond that distance, double rent applies.
    2. The permit is valid for Uttarakhand only. If the vehicle is taken outside Uttarakhand, the renter is solely responsible for any accident, damage, challan, seizure or compensation claim.
  5. Fines, Challans & Documents

    1. Any fine issued by the police or RTO — rash driving, over sitting, wrong parking, jumping a red light and the like — is paid entirely by the renter.
    2. Every challan also carries an additional ₹500 payable to the owner, because the State Transport Authority, Dehradun recovers it from the owner at the time of permit renewal.
    3. If the vehicle is seized, getting it released is the renter’s responsibility, and all charges and penalties are paid by the renter.
    4. The renter is responsible for any wrong or fraudulent information given about their identity or documents.
  6. Payment & Legal

    1. GST is charged extra.
    2. Riding carries risk. By renting, you accept that Strawbell and its associates are not liable for injury, mishap, or loss to you or your belongings.
    3. All disputes are subject to Rishikesh jurisdiction only.

FAQs for Bike Rental in Rishikesh

The things riders ask us on the phone every day. Anything else — just call.

Your driving licence and your Aadhaar card. Originals are fine, and so are the digital copies in DigiLocker or mParivahan — those count as valid documents. Plain photocopies or photos saved in your gallery do not. Not sure whether yours will work? Call us before you come.

The rent covers a 30 km radius from our office. You can go beyond that too — extra rent applies depending on your destination, and we tell you the exact amount on the call. The vehicle has to stay inside Uttarakhand though, because two-wheelers here carry an Uttarakhand-only permit. Rates for each vehicle are listed above.

From our office at C/o Gupta Crockery, Old 547, New 679, Bankhandi, Hiralal Marg, Rishikesh — 300 metres from Rishikesh railway station and 800 metres from Triveni Ghat, and easy to reach by any local transport from anywhere in town. Open it in Google Maps.

Yes. We drop the vehicle at your hotel or wherever you are staying. Delivery is free within 3 km of our office; beyond that a small charge applies, which we will tell you on the call.

Yes, you can ride to any of the dhams — it just costs more, depending on how far you are going. Book ahead as well: long temple runs need a vehicle that has been serviced for the distance, and we cannot promise the right one at short notice.

Scooties start at ₹500 a day and motorcycles go up from there, depending on the model. Every vehicle we have, with its daily rate, is listed above — no separate price list to hunt for.

No. Fuel is on you. The tank goes out with just enough to get you to the nearest petrol pump, so fill up before you head out of town.

Yes, as long as the vehicle is actually registered for rental. Check the number plate — a commercially registered rental vehicle in Uttarakhand carries a yellow number plate with black lettering. Every vehicle at Strawbell does.
