The Legend Behind the Lens: Meet Vikas Talwar At the heart of *Hikers and Bikers* isn’t just a business plan—it’s a lifelong obsession with chrome, gears, and the open road. That obsession has a name: Vikas Talwar. A 57-year-old veteran of the road and a Delhi-based biking purist, Vikas is the visionary "Founding Father" of this sanctuary. He didn’t just build a cafe; he built a temple for those who believe that life is best lived at full throttle. The Guardian of History Vikas isn't just a rider; he is a time traveller. As a renowned collector and restorer of vintage motorcycles, he breathes life into machines that the world almost forgot. His private collection is a rolling museum, featuring legendary steel that dates back to the **World War II era*. Every bolt tightened and every engine revived by his hands tells a story of survival, grit, and engineering marvel. When you step into Hikers and Bikers, you are stepping into a space curated by a man who understands that a bike isn't just transport—it’s a soul. From the Streets of Delhi to the Peaks of Himachal Bringing his urban grit and vintage soul from Delhi to the mountains, Vikas created Hikers and Bikers to be the ultimate Himalayan pitstop. It is a reflection of his own journey: rugged, authentic, and timeless. Why we ride. Why we stay. A Legacy in Every Rev:* Experience a space inspired by decades of restoration and thousands of miles on the saddle. * *Built by a Biker, for the Brave:* We speak the language of the long-distance rider because our founder lives it. **Come for the view, stay for the Legend.
