Bike Rental in Chandigarh
Chandigarh sits at the foot of the Shivalik hills with Kasauli, Morni and Shimla close by, so the rental shops here mostly serve riders going up into Himachal. For Rishikesh, you are looking at a long but straightforward day on the road.
Rishikesh is roughly 210 km from Chandigarh, 5 to 6 hours by road. If the trip is Rishikesh and the Uttarakhand hills, our bike rental in Rishikesh is the shop to compare against.

What to Ask Before You Rent
- Is the bike on a commercial or private plate, and is that allowed for self-drive where you plan to ride? Why plates matter.
- Can it leave the state, what is the daily kilometre limit, and who pays for a breakdown?
- What is the deposit, in what form, and when is it returned?
- What does insurance actually cover, and what is the excess if you damage the bike?
- Which documents are needed? See our list of documents for renting a bike.
Riding from Chandigarh to Rishikesh
Rishikesh is roughly 210 km from Chandigarh. The common route runs through Ambala and Yamunanagar to Saharanpur, then down through Roorkee and Haridwar, with Rishikesh 25 km further. Allow 5 to 6 hours riding time plus stops. There is a longer alternative through Dehradun if you want to see the Shivalik foothills on the way.
Rental shops in Chandigarh mostly price for Himachal trips. Before taking a bike to Uttarakhand, confirm in writing that the booking allows it, and ask what happens if it breaks down away from Chandigarh.

Or Rent in Rishikesh Instead
If Rishikesh is the destination rather than the ride, you can take a bus or train to Haridwar or Dehradun and rent from us on arrival. The full day on the road becomes a day of riding the hills instead.
Our bikes are Royal Enfields and a Honda Activa 125, all on commercial taxi-series plates valid for self-drive across Uttarakhand. Free delivery at the Rishikesh railway station and bus stand.
Coming from further out? We also deliver in Haridwar and Dehradun and Jolly Grant airport.
