Our India cycling vacations
Our cycling vacations in India allow you to connect with both people and place, as well as refuel on some seriously great cuisine. Both guided and self guided cycling offer a unique chance to slow down and really see places. Plus, our choice of trips is vast. Breeze along the Konkan coast from the Western Ghats to Goa, or through the tea hills and backwaters of Kerala. Or balance cycling with tiger tracking drives around the extraordinary Kanha National Park. Small, locally owned accommodation is key, starring everything from houseboats and homestays to heritage hotels and ecolodges.

TYPES OF CYCLING HOLIDAYS IN INDIA
Every single sense was bashed every single day. Smell, sight, taste, heat, just everything. That’s why it is amazing to travel by bike.
– Lyn Hill, finance and office manager at Responsible Travel. Read more in our interview with Lyn about her cycling vacation in Kerala
Where you want to cycle in India is just as important as which style best suits your fitness levels, and your cultural or natural heritage expectations. You could join a guided, small group or you might prefer a tailor made trip cycling independently, with your bags being transported for you. You can choose between moderate level, which covers between 30-50km a day on flat tarmac roads such as along Kerala’s coast or in some parts of Rajasthan, to more mountainous terrain like southern India’s Western Ghats, or the Himalayan hill stations.
Our vacations are run by real experts who are also honest about the levels of cycling you will be undertaking. Because ultimately, this is a vacation. For some that means pushing themselves up to a mountain viewpoint and, for others, it means breezing downhill to the next beach bar. So when choosing from the types of cycling vacations on offer in India, be honest, enjoy yourself and choose a cycling vacation which appeals for all the right reasons.

Tailor made trips
Many of our cycling vacations in India are small group; however, if you prefer to cycle independently, and at your own pace, there are superb options out there. An organised but independent cycling vacation takes all the work out of it for you, providing maps, copious notes, accommodation, luggage transfers and sometimes food. And, of course, bikes. So all you have to do is cycle. Cycling in Central India’s Maikal Hills, as well as tailor made cycling trips in southern India, are some of our most popular bespoke bicycle odysseys.
Small group tours
Joining a group of likeminded cyclists takes the pressure off the organisation front. All you have to do is cycle and the rest is all laid on for you with luggage transfers, accommodation, support vans and so on. Small group cycling tours in India cater not only for people who are happier cycling in numbers, but those who really want a shortcut to the cultural and natural highlights of a cycling destination. And cycling tour companies are experts at knowing all the best local secrets too, from the best Ayurveda spa at the end of the day in Kerala to the top Himalayan tea houses to quench your thirst. They also know the best food stops to fill those hollow legs, and there is no shortage of great food stops in India.
Moderate rides
You won’t find any easy peasy cycling vacations in India because we believe that if you are going to come all this way, you’re best to really throw yourself into it and spend at least a week here, cycling every day. We have plenty of moderate cycling vacations in India, however, covering between 30-50km per day with the odd hill thrown in now and again, but nothing too drastic. Good examples include cycling the coast of Kerala, cycling in Rajasthan which is hot, but flat, or pedalling through the Maikal Hills in Central India. Hills may worry some, but they are gentle and there are plenty of beauty stops which can be added into a tailor made trip along the way here. Cycling in the states of Goa and Sikkim are also considered moderate, although the latter does have some Himalayan valleys so it is definitely borderline brawn. Another borderline route combines Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, which has some breezy stretches but also some full on ascents thrown into the mix.
Challenging adventures
There are different challenges out there, of course, just as there are different types of cycling styles and bikes. Our coast to coast cycle from Kochi in Kerala to Chennai in Tamil Nadu is tough because it is two weeks in the saddle covering a wide array of landscapes, but this is also a fantastic way to really immerse yourself in southern India’s tropics, temples and traditions. But then we have Himalayan hard, which is a whole other ball game. You don’t have to be an athlete to take these on, though, as our cycling vacations are well paced, guided and always have superb support.
