10 Indian Routes That Are Heaven For Bicycle Riders

A coworker of mine comes to office on his bicycle, every day. And green in envy, because the model of bike is a lovely one and I love riding bicycles but don’t have any, I try to find errands [honestly, read excuses] to run every day to borrow his bike for a ride.

Biking is one of the greatest pleasures that a human can have. This almost always safe way of travelling helps keep our body fit while not exhausting it completely. And if the path you’re biking on has some serene beauty surrounding it, then nothing can be greater than that. So here I present 10 biking trails around India, that you should totally explore.

1. Gangtok to Darjeeling

This is one of the shorter routes but mountain biking is no easy game, so you should be both an expert and properly equipped to do so!

 

2. Manali to Leh

This is one of the hardest routes to navigate through, and you need to be an expert rider to do so. But it’s worth the sweating, trust me!

 

3. Old silk route
