One who has ever tried mountain biking
will be thrilled by it's sheer excitement. The moment
you sit down on the saddle and started pedaling, it
will be an obsession for you to perfect the art of mountain
biking. The Great Indian Himalayas enclose some of the
best cycling escapades that a cyclist looks for in its
adventure trip. Himalayan Biking in India works as a
pretty good adventure experience for those who love
to explore the unbeaten tracks and not so frequently
visited paths.
The fully supported Leh-Manali bike ride is now an
established classic, crossing three high passes, the
highest being over 5600 mtrs, and with a total descent
of over 10000 mtre.
These are not demanding expeditions- our support team
is always present at a discreet distance behind the
riders to help in case of need. All bags are carried
for you and our expert camp crew sports out the campsites
and puts together five star meals at the end of the
day.
Safety Requirements
You need to be fit as Indian trails tend to be narrower,
steeper, with sharper turns, and with unavoidable obstacles
such as rocks, roots, and water bars. Sometimes they
are built along the sides of steep slopes with varying
amounts of exposure. Generally, go slower on narrow
single tracks than you ordinarily would -- until you
get used to steering down such a confining course. Obstacles
pose a special problem... To get over a root or water
bar or rock, approach it from a right angle, compress
the front of the bike just before hitting it, and pull
up with your arms as you reach it.
Know your equipment, your ability, and the area in
which you are riding and prepare accordingly. Be self-sufficient
at all times. Wear a helmet, keep your machine in good
condition, and carry necessary supplies for changes
in weather or other conditions.

Ladakh
The best destination of mountain biking exploration
among the Indian higher regions is Ladakh with numerous
unspoiled areas, which are a little off-track because
their high altitude location makes them inaccessible
for the usual holidaymakers.
Himachal Pradesh & Uttaranchal
There are plenty of easy introductory mountain biking
trails also available in the parts of Jammu, Kangra,
Una, Hamirpur and Bilaspur in Himachal, and Almora,
Nanital, Ranikhet, Rishikesh, and Mussoorie in Uttaranchal.
Sikkim
Another destination biker would love to explore is the
state of Sikkim, which allows the visitor to get in
touch with the colourful cultural heritage and monastic
lifestyle of the Sikkimese people.
