The trip of a lifetime.....fabulous crew and route. All planned and executed so well.
Cycling Through RajasthanIndia was my 57th country and I really wanted to go there with an open mind. After hearing what everyone else said when I told them I was going to India I wanted to prove them wrong. The smell isn't that bad, it smells at some places but most of the parts won't smell bad at all. Yes you will hear the traffic, it might be a bit overwhelming crossing the streets but they know better then you how to manoeuvre tourists crossing streets in Asia, trust them. Non of all the bad things people warned me of never happened, neither to me or anyone else in the group. People will most likely want to take pictures with you, if they ask you can always say no, and when they don't ask smile and wait for it to be over. I'm so glad I putted aside everything everyone told me and I'm even more glad to tell them how wrong they were now when I'm back. During our tour one of the travellers ended up in a situation that non of us was prepared for or trained for to handle. However our CEO did an amazing job navigating to different clinics, pharmacy's, phone calls with the traveller mom, arranging with the hotel to lock down parts of the hotels to keep the traveller safe. Also had time to brief us about our activities that was happening at the same time. The CEO also stayed with the traveller from that morning until we left with the morning train the day after. Not been able to sleep or rest at all during the past 24h while looking after the traveller. He still was chatting on the train and told us about the next stop and what was up next. Also during hard times like this it's really beautiful to see how people get together, trying to help out and support each other even though we didn't know each other's a few days earlier. Just wanted to lift the CEO a bit extra for overall doing a great job but then had to handle a situation like this and still being able to do his job after something that's really mentally exhausting.

What our customers ask about Bicycle Tours & Trips in India
What are the most scenic cycling routes in India I can experience?
India's cycling routes span from Kerala's backwaters to the high-altitude passes of the Western Ghats. The route from Alleppey winds past local villages and spice gardens while Rajasthan's paths connect the desert cities of Jodhpur and Jaipur. A TourRadar traveler noted "Cycling through beautiful landscapes while avoiding the monkeys sunbathing on the road and enjoying the fantastic rural countryside was an unforgettable experience." One notable path descends from Ooty starting at Hotel Fortune Resort Sullivan Court through eucalyptus forests before reaching tropical Kerala.
What are the typical daily cycling distances on India bicycle tours?
India's cycling tours cover between 40-80 kilometers each day based on the region. Kerala tours often include 60-kilometer stretches through Kumarakom's quiet backroads. The Rajasthan routes average 40-50 kilometers through the Aravalli range. The challenging Munnar to Periyar stretch extends to 100 kilometers with elevation changes. As one TourRadar traveler shared "The cycling allowed us to see and visit areas that otherwise we would have been unlikely to see." Support vehicles accompany all routes for riders needing rest.
What type of accommodation can I expect on multi-day bicycle tours in India?
Accommodations range from colonial-era hotels to modern resorts and traditional boats. Fort Kochi offers stays at the Dutch Bungalow while Udaipur features rooms at the Paras Mahal Hotel overlooking the Aravalli Hills. Kerala's houseboats provide private rooms with attached bathrooms. A TourRadar traveler shared: "The accommodation was outstanding especially the houseboat! And the food - just way too much! Don't expect to lose weight on this trip!"
What is the best time of year for cycling tours in India?
Each region has its prime cycling season. Kerala and South India welcome cyclists from October through March when temperatures stay moderate. The Ooty highlands remain cool year-round particularly at night near Fortune Resort Sullivan Court. Rajasthan's cycling season runs October to March avoiding summer heat and monsoons. One TourRadar traveler reports: "It got chilly in the evenings in December in Ooty though apart from that it is HOT HOT HOT and HUMID!"
What level of fitness is required for cycling tours in India?
India's cycling routes need moderate fitness levels with daily rides lasting 4-6 hours. The Kerala routes mix flat coastal paths with Western Ghats climbs. TourRadar guests at Tea County Resort in Munnar note that combining heat with hills demands good stamina and prior cycling experience.
What kind of cultural experiences are included alongside the cycling?
The routes connect cycling with local life through spice farm visits cooking classes dance shows and village walks. Forest Canopy in Thekkady offers spice cultivation tours before rides through cardamom plantations. TourRadar travelers highlight evening boat rides in Kumarakom and traditional Kathakali shows in Kochi as key cultural additions to their cycling adventures.
