India Bike Week
India's biggest motorcycling festival moves to the hills of Panchgani on 4 and 5 December 2026, with races, stunt shows, live music and camping.
India Bike Week is the country's biggest motorcycling festival. After a decade in Goa, it has moved to Panchgani in Maharashtra, at 4,550 feet, about four hours from Mumbai and two and a half hours from Pune. The 2026 edition is on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 December.
The programme includes FMSCI sanctioned races (hill climb, flat track and a dirt dash obstacle course), the Bike Build Off for custom motorcycles, stunt shows, brand launches and test rides, overlanding talks, a biker bazaar and three music stages. Gates open at 1 pm and the parties run until 3 am, with camping and bonfires on site.
You do not need a motorcycle to attend. Tickets are sold on the official registration portal as day passes and weekend passes, and are non refundable. Guided group rides to Panchgani are offered from Mumbai, Pune and Bengaluru. December nights in Panchgani drop to single digits, so pack a riding jacket, gloves and warm layers.
