Mountain Biking in Himalaya
The
moment you have a look at the mighty and majestic Himalayas, you are
inspired to accept challenging as well as demanding tasks that are
definitely not run of the mill stuff. Don't be surprised if you are back
in shape after you are through with the tour. If you have always admired
the rough and tough guys undertaking adventure activities, now is the time
you joined them so that you may become your own role model.
Tourism is not an impersonal activity anymore when you are biking or
cycling through the Himalayas for you can do things that were difficult
earlier. You can stop by the roadside, talk to the people in the
countryside, stop at the villages to find out more about their way of
life. The activity of mountain biking is an adventure which combines
travel with local culture which results in a never before travel
experience ... ah, we forgot to mention the astounding landscapes because
we felt that it'd be taken for granted anyway.
We'd like to mention cycling separately because it is physically more
demanding and throws up more challenges than usual. It is neither for
those with a faint heart nor for the ones who are not keeping fit. At the
end of your tour, you might be feeling bit tired or backache but you know
in your heart that the effort has been worth it.
Major Biking / Cycling Treks of Himalayas
Mountain Biking in Ladakh
There is no dearth of options in the Himalayas but Ladakh is the usual
and popular choice to start your tour because you get a real sense of
adventure when you start off from the cold desert of India. Your adventure
menu from which you get to choose is a varied one as you can start from a
light introductory ride and go on to the ultimate challenge, travelling
through the ancient trade routes which are in the highest Himalayan
ranges.
Mountain
Biking in Terai of Uttaranchal
You may start here from an area where you may not have to exert yourself
a lot. Start from Thakurdwara and cycle your way to Ramnagar which is on
the periphery of the Corbett Park. Not tired yet? Good. You have a
beautifully landscaped route as you move on with your journey. This road
runs through Kaladhungi, and goes up to Haldwani. Get onto a bus at
Haldwani and go to Nainital. From there you can go up to Ranikhet which is
a difficult slope which may be covered by bus as well.
Mountain Biking from Himachal Pradesh to Uttaranchal
The state of Himachal Pradesh also offers some of the most exciting
cycling routes for the cycling adventure lovers. You may choose to start
from Kumarhatti and go on to Shimla – Kalka road. Then after riding
through the deep forests you reach Sarahan which is a small Tehsil town.
Then you move to Nahan, which is a comparably easier road to negotiate as
you only have to go downhill from here. The other destinations that you
cover afterwards are Markanda river, Aasan Barrage, Doon Valley, Siwaliks
at Timli.
Mountain Biking from Mussoorie to Rari Pass
Reach Mussoorie by loading your cycle onto a bus, then cycle along a
rising road and reach Dhanaulti then move onto Surkhanda Devi temple to
reach Chamba. The town of Chamba may be submerged by the waters of the
Tehri Dam which is a controversial issue here. You leave the town to its
fate and reach the Rari pass afterwards.
The Himalayas are not mere rocks and snows
but an ubfailing storehouse of adventure and beauty.
