Rajasthan is a fantastic blend of geography, people, religions and history. Exploring and traversing this ancient land by bicycle is to embrace the wonder of India…
This exhilarating 300km journey starts in Agra, home of the Taj Mahal. Sunrise at the Taj Mahal makes a breathtaking backdrop to the start of the challenge; and as we enter the Rajasthani territory our journey takes us along exhilarating ascends and descents, crossing this region of remarkably diverse flora, fauna and landscape. The ride along the Aravali mountain range (the oldest mountain range in the world), dotted with colourful tribal villages, cultivated fields, fascinating temples, dense forest, sandy deserts, and views of dramatic ruined forts, whilst spending memorable nights under the stars on the grounds of picturesque campsites (5 star!) to splendid Indian Palaces.
This is a perfect adventure, with some tough cycling days, with some time off-road, through bustling cities and rural life that seems frozen in time, with the ever changing back drop of rivers, small lakes and a fascinating wildlife.
The challenge finishes in Jaipur, with a victorious Elephant ride down the slopes of its famous fort, a fitting end to an unforgettable experience.
Take part in one of these cycle challenges and you’ll get fit, view some of the world’s most beautiful landscapes from a whole new perspective, push yourself to new limits, raise essential funds for rural education, and come away with amazing memories, an album of photos, a new team of friends and most of all an incredible sense of achievement and personal fulfillment!
