Cycling Activity Holiday in India

Cycling is one of the best ways to see India. It isn't difficult and provides the cyclist with glimpses of India denied to the traveler whizzing past on four wheelers. Riding a bike is always a pleasure for a person who loves adventure and sports. Mountain biking isn't like participating in Tour De France. It's like climbing on a mountain with the help of a bike. Whether you are riding on a smooth surface or a hard one, mountain biking provides you a superb drive, so conquering the countless climbs and drop- offs is a matter of pure skill, strength & nerve. If you are looking for the excitement of challenging climbs and some of the best downhill in the world, set amongst ever-changing scenery, are present in our very own Himalayan ranges and this trip is hard to beat.

In general, mountain biking trips focus on those who are born to be wild. A great way of sightseeing in India and its environs is on bicycle, as it gives an independence and intimacy with the people, culture and landscape that is unparalleled. Cycling allows one limitless possibilities of routes and in India is delightful through the year with routes are tailor-made on less frequented drives. The rich and wildly diverse terrain of India need not be seen through the smudged and speeding windscreen of a jeep or bus. Downhill cycling can be great rush of adrenaline. October through December has the highest glee factor with a 5-star cycle rating. Visibility and conditions are at their best and you'll see the whole country buzzing on and around the trails to prove it!
In mid-November and into December you will have cooler mornings and nights. The days are sunny & warm, with little chance of rain throughout this season.

The Shivalik or lower Himalayan ranges provide ample opportunities for biking. Do consult your travel agent before setting on a biking tour and make sure all logistics are planned to your satisfaction.
