More and more people wish to extend their horizon above the Scandinavian countries and to combine their passion for motorbiking with fantastic nature beyond the established tourist destinations. An adventure vacation that challenges you and gives you permanent memories is what attracts people. To be able to do this together with like-minded people is what Indian Adventures strive to provide.
Indian Adventures was founded when Knut de Presno and Jim Lindquist were on a motorbike tour on high altitude in the Himalayas, autumn 2006. The idea of Indian Adventures was born. The idea to share these adventures and experiences with others. Indian Adventures was founded with a vision to give other motorcyclists the most exciting and eventful moment in life.
Founders of Indian Adventures
Knut de Presno is 51 years old and has lived together with his family for almost 8 years in India. During these years he traveled across the country and knows India and the surrounding countries very well. He is a qualified nurse and focuses on the clients’ well-being and making sure they feel safe.
Knut has been the leader of medical teams with doctors and nurses where the natural disasters have taken place in the last couple of years, for example, the earthquake in Pakistan and Haiti, the tsunami, and the hurricane on the Philippines.
Knut has lead many of our tours and has been the leader of many tours in India, Sri Lanka, and Bhutan. He also follows up on Indian Adventure’s humanity work which for example helps a children school in the poor areas of Delhi.
Jim Lindquist is born 1966 and lives in Halden. He is a qualified lecturer in mechanical engineering and has a Masters degree in organisation and management.

He has made many of our tours and has for many years been a leader of our tours in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and China.
