India Cycle Challenge - Autumn 2007

India is a land that truly suspends belief and defies description. Stretching from the frozen barrier of the Himalayas to the tropical greenery of Kerala, and from the sacred Ganges to the sands of the Thar Desert, India’s boundaries encompass incomparable variety.

This is a perfect adventure for the keen cyclist, combining exhilarating ascents and descents with some time offroad and fabulous scenery, including rivers, small lakes
and fascinating wildlife. Ride 400km from the small town of Bundi through the Bharatpur National Park and along the Aravali Mountains. You will pass through colourful tribal villages, past temples and terraced fields, ruined forts and dense forests. Temperatures of 25-35°C will provide hot and sunny days of cycling. Our nights will be spent under a carpet of stars in the grounds of splendid palaces.

Along the way, there will be the chance to see some of the country’s diverse fauna, including the Neelgai, or Blue Bull, India’s largest species of antelope, and deer, peacocks and – possibly – even tigers. Our journey will end at the Taj Mahal, the iconic seventeenth century monument that is often described as one of the seven wonders of the modern world.
