Hyderabad’s Wanderers Bulleteers: 24 Years of Riding, Purpose, and Brotherhood
HYDERABAD: Before Instagram, before WhatsApp groups, before riding became a curated “lifestyle,” a few riders in Hyderabad went looking for something simple — each other.
In 2002, armed with phone calls, emails, and a shared obsession for the thump of a Royal Enfield, they found it. What they built would go on to become one of India’s oldest and most respected Royal Enfield-only clubs — the Wanderers Bulleteers of Hyderabad, founded under the leadership of Founder President Lalit Jain.
On March 23, 2026, the brotherhood turned 24.
The Ride That Started It All
The early conversations didn’t stay conversations for long.
By 2003, riders from across cities and states connected and set out on what would become a defining journey — a ride to Goa that forged bonds lasting decades.
Among those riders was Siddhartha Lal, riding alongside the founding members — a moment that reflected the club’s core ethos: equality on the road, and respect earned through the ride.
A Brotherhood Beyond Machines
From a single chapter in Hyderabad, the Wanderers grew into a network spanning Bengaluru, Bidar, Hampi, Nanded, Delhi, Mumbai, and Dehradun — with Hyderabad remaining the origin and anchor.
But the essence of the Wanderers lies beyond expansion.
“It’s a family. We ride together, share stories, and support each other – on and off the road. It’s about creating memories and making a difference in the community by making ourselves useful in standing up for the causes such as ’Save a Girl Child Campaign, Voter Awareness, Blood Donation, Safety Rides with the authorities to promote helmet & road safety and Riding to show our solidarity and support to the differently abled children,” says Gandamalla Praveen Kumar.
Riding With Purpose
For the Wanderers, the road has always carried meaning beyond the ride itself.
“Riding is freedom, and freedom is what keeps us going. The open road, the thrill, and the camaraderie – it’s addictive!” says Gandamalla Praveen Kumar.
Over the years, that spirit has translated into action — from awareness campaigns and blood donation drives to safety initiatives and social outreach.
One ride, in particular, stands out.
“Wanderers Flag Ride wherein we ride to thank the Indian Armed Forces changed my perspective – a group ride to Leh Ladak and Kargil in J&K, and Kaho village in Arunachal Pradesh made me experience the beautiful India that not many would have seen. The harsh terrain, stunning landscapes, and locals’ warmth made me realise life’s about the journey, not the destination,” he adds.
Miles That Tell a Story
From riding across India to international journeys through Nepal and Bhutan, the Wanderers have continued to push boundaries — not just geographically, but in purpose and perspective.
Annual gatherings like Rider Mania and Motoverse in Goa bring together riders from across the country, while the local tradition remains unchanged — Sunday rides that keep the brotherhood alive.
A Legacy That Endures
Twenty-four years. Seven chapters. Thousands of kilometres.
And yet, at its core, the Wanderers Bulleteers remain what they have always been — a group of riders bound by the road, strengthened by purpose, and sustained by brotherhood.
They’ve shown what responsible riding looks like. They’ve built a community that exists beyond platforms. And they’ve proven that some of the strongest bonds are forged not online — but mile by mile.
As they mark 24 years, one truth continues to define them:
Once a Wanderer, always a Wanderer.
