Destinations Cycled
Conquered Indian roads? We practically paved them (on two wheels, of course). Back when geared bikes were rarer than happy Mondays, we were leading the first cycling tours. Our epic journey began in 2005, pedaling from Manali to Leh. Since then, we've explored every nook and cranny of India, and even ventured into neighboring countries.
Forget following the herd (or the tour bus)! We ditched fixed routes and crowds long ago. Now, we specialize in crafting custom tours to hidden gems, the kind tourists rarely see. It's not a cakewalk - off-the-beaten-path often means off-the-grid amenities. But hey, that's the beauty of the adventure, right?
Manali-Leh? Been there, pedaled that (many times!). Rajasthan and Kerala are old stomping grounds too. But for the ultimate Indian cycling odyssey, look no further than the heart of the country - Central India.
Our tours are as unique as your fingerprints (and hopefully less sweaty). We can't list them all, but below are a few of our personal favorites to whet your adventurous appetite.
