  The mountain roads rarely give you the same view for any prolonged time. If you make a bend in Sikkim, you might see a snow-capped peak far away, a hillside village, or even a monastery, hiding in the trees. It is this aspect that makes the Sikkim Cycling Tour so fascinating as a form of travel for a rider who is not at all interested in speed or getting from one point to the other simply and quickly. On a bicycle, you immerse yourself in nature and the mountains as you traverse them: you can hear the crunch of flowing water and smell the freshness of the woods after the rain. Every climb has its own reward, and every fall takes you to another corner of the province.  Sikkim Cycling Tour Across Hills, Villages, and Tea Gardens The roads of Sikkim take you up, down, and around all in one trip. From the city of Gangtok with its busy atmosphere, you can gradually reach areas of more greenery, passing by cultivated land and villages. A stop at Temi Tea Garden will definitely ad...

An impromptu pause can become an exchange with a village shopkeeper or an opportunity to observe people living their everyday lives.

Rajasthan Cycling Tour with Pushkar Camel Fair Through Local Landscapes The roads outside Pushkar are sufficiently varied without requiring a schedule of sights to see. You can ride past farms, villages, and temples, along walls of ancient fortifications, and over dry rolling plains where the countryside stretches out for miles.  Some of the things that make these rides interesting are Q...

  There is something very special, a magical kind of feeling one gets when seeing Kerala from the seat of a bicycle. The pace of life is slower, the roads seem closer, and all of those tiny details become the story of the journey. Fishing boats on the water, children walking home, the workers in their fields, and a line of coconut trees alongside the road are things one usually forgets, which are actually part of life. Cycling in Kerala enables tourists to interact with the local way of life, but a Kerala bicycle tour is, quite simply, the best way to discover a nature-loving local culture and experience a great ride at the same time.  Cycling in Kerala Along Scenic Local Routes Kerala offers plenty of variety for cyclists. One stretch may run beside backwaters, while another passes through farmland or a quiet village. The changing surroundings keep the ride interesting. A ride may take you through: Coconut-lined country roads Paddy fields and small waterways Traditional vil...
