The Himalayan region in India has a number of adventure
sport spots that has made the Himalayas a favorite among
adventure travelers. But adventure sport is not everyone's
cup of tea. One needs to be in perfect shape both physically
and mentally to take the adventure tours in India. Adventure
tours in India are for the one who loves adrenaline
rush and has a steel resolve.
Cycling and motor biking are two of the adventure activities
that many people enjoy on adventure tours in India.
The Himalayan region in India with its varied geographical
landscape provides some great trails for cycling and
motor biking. As you trudge up the Himalayan roads to
reach some of the highest towns and villages, you see
a different India unfold -which is rustic, pollution
free, serene and charming. In fact there is no better
way to discover a tiny hamlet or a non-descript town
in the foothills of the Himalayas than on a mountain
bike or cycle.
Cycling and motor biking in the Himalayas are not only
about negotiating hair pin bends and enjoying the beautiful
scenery of the region, but also about facing challenges
that the terrain and climate in this region pose to
travelers. It is here where you need to follow some
basic guidelines before you finally hit the dirt track.
First and foremost, it is imperative to take permission
from the concerned authority/authorities for cycle or
motor biking tours in the Himalayas. The reason being,
most of the tracks you may follow on your cycle or biking
tours adjoin the border of neighbouring countries. If
the terrain is rough one needs to take more sophisticated
cycles or motorbikes to meet the hard conditions of
the track.
For all biking tours in the Himalayan region, one needs
to take clearance six months prior to the tour from
the Indian Mountaineering Foundation. A Liaison Officer
is deputed for the expedition, who is of immense help
in case of emergency. He is the one who coordinates
with various government agencies for the smooth completion
of the adventure tour. Travelers need to pay royalty
for mountain biking, which is charged according to the
popularity and height of the destination.
Terai areas in the Himalayas like Nanital in Uttaranchal
and some stretches in Himachal Pradesh are ideal for
cycling. These stretches offer magnificent views of
the surrounding areas.
One needs to be fully equipped with essential items
to take cycling and motor biking tours in the Himalayas.
Some of the equipment necessary on a cycle or motorbike
tour include helmets, tent, sleeping bag, drinking water,
snacks and first aid box. It is necessary to run a quick
check about these items before you hit the road.
