Trip Notes:

  • CYCLING: Daily cycling ranges between 40 to 60 kilometres. On certain days, the distance between two destinations is longer than 100 KM and you may cycle more if you wish. If not, you may cover the remaining distance in the support vehicle.

  • TERRAIN: In Rajasthan most of the roads are asphalt, however, in small villages, the roads are either broken or have been cobbled, thus making it difficult to use road bikes. Mostly along rustic rural lanes (major part will be flat, towards the end will be uphill) where there is little or no traffic, you get to experience rural India at its best. There are few stretches of busier roads as well, however, we provide 100% support vehicle to give you a lift if you would rather not ride on these sections.

  • WEATHER: January to mid-April and October to December is the best time to cycle in Rajasthan. Average temperatures range from max of 25°C and minimum of 7°C. The desert sun is not so intense and the days are cool and pleasant, perfect for cycling. The mornings and evenings are generally cool and mild, however, January and late December can be very cold. There is no humidity and little or no rain can be expected. May, June, July and August are extremely hot and not recommended for cycling.
