INDIA LAND OF THE KINGS BIKE RIDE

7-16 MARCH 2009

INDIA LAND OF THE KINGS BIKE RIDE

There are few places on earth that have the variety that India has to offer, it is a country of contrast, colours and culture. It is a place that stays with you forever.

Our exhilarating bike ride starts in Bundi, a captivating little town which has retained a medieval atmosphere, and finishes at Bharatpur National Park. We travel along the Aravali mountain range (the oldest mountain range in the world), past tribal villages, fascinating temples, dense forest and sandy deserts, with views of dramatic ruined forts. Climbs are followed by exciting descents, as we ride past rivers, small lakes and fascinating wildlife like neelghai or blue bull (India's largest antelope), deer, peacocks, and possibly even tigers. This exciting adventure comes to an end near the red sand stone buildings of the greatest Mughal Emperor - Akbar, just short of the Taj Mahal.
