Overview

Hop on the saddle for a full immersion in the Land of Kings

Discover Rajasthan, where rolling hills meet barren deserts and dramatic fortresses stand testament to a long, rich heritage. For this trip, we explore the largest state in India by bike, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the traditional way of life here. Along the way, we visit landmarks that rival any on the planet, including the captivating Mehrangarh Fort at Jodhpur, the lakeside palace of Udaipur, the holy town of Pushkar and the superb pink city of Jaipur. We finish the trip at the magnificent Taj Mahal, one of the New Wonders of the World. Please note, departures on 29 October 2023 and 5 November 2024 (land only) will be festival departures including Pushkar Camel Fair – there is an alternative itinerary on days 7 & 8 and 10 & 11 for these departures.

Important Information

The trip destination
  • 13 nights in hotels and one on an overnight train
  • 12 days of cycling (including optional rides) with full vehicle support
  • Group normally 5 to 16, plus leader. Minimum age: 16
  • Game drive in Sariska National Park
  • Pushkar and Diwali festival departures available
Food
All breakfasts, four lunches and one dinner are included. Breakfast on arrival day is not included as you should be given breakfast on your flight. If you do want another breakfast, it costs approximately 660 Indian rupees (US$8) at the hotel in Delhi. You should allow at least 1,640 rupees (approximately US$20) per day for lunch and dinner. You can eat out very cheaply in India, but if you go to the more expensive restaurants most of the time, you will spend more than the suggested amount. In most towns, there is a good choice of restaurants and a choice between Indian and Western-style food. If you are a vegetarian, India is probably one of the best destinations to travel to with a wide range of dishes on offer. Tea and soft drinks are very cheap. A large bottle of beer is approximately 330 rupees (US$4). Mineral water is widely available.
Weather

October to March is the ideal time to visit northern India. Days are normally warm to hot and nights cool or mild. Humidity is very low and little or no rain falls. In March, April and October, it can get very hot during the day. Evenings in Delhi and in the Thar Desert can be surprisingly cool, so bring warm clothing plus a sun hat, sunscreen and sunglasses. It gets very cold in the early mornings and evenings between December and February.

Is this trip for you?

This trip is classified Road and Activity Level 3 (Moderate).

Cycling days: 12 including optional rides.

Average distance: 43mi (70km) per day with full vehicle support.

Terrain and route: Mostly quiet backroads with some roads with traffic. All roads are surfaced. Our route is a mixture of rolling hills and flat plains. There are two steeper optional climbs: to Mehrangarh Fort on Day 3 and Kumbhalgarh Fort on Day 6. The support vehicle is there for anyone who decides to stop riding.

Please note, this part of India can be very hot. Although this trip is moderately demanding there is plenty of time to explore.

Please note, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) is responsible for the conservation of many monuments in India, including the Taj Mahal, and very occasionally this may mean work is taking place at sites visited on this trip. The ASI schedule is never published so it is not possible to forewarn our clients of when work will be taking place.

Diwali

Some departures coincide with Diwali, the festival of lights to mark the start of the Hindu new year, in which people may illuminate their houses and shops and sometimes celebrate on the streets with fireworks. Lasting up to five days, celebrations can be local (within communities and families) and are not necessarily marked to the same extent throughout the country. We endeavour to seek possible opportunities to see the festivities; however, we cannot guarantee what is happening in the local area visited during the trip.

Pushkar Festival

Each year, we operate a departure of this trip that coincides with the Pushkar Camel Fair; please see days 7 & 10 of the itinerary.
