India Mountain Biking 12 Days -
India
Our mountain biking tour is through Sikkim, formerly a Kingdom and today the smallest state of India, which lies East of Nepal on the bottom of the Great Himalayan Range. Its population consists of the tribes of Lepcha, Bhutia and Nepali. Sikkim is rich in cultural and heritage and offers a big diversity of climate in Sikkim including breathtaking, subtropical areas near to the arctic zones. The main peak of the Himalayas in Sikkim is Kanchenjunga, 8598m making it the third highest mountain in the world. But don’t worry we won’t be biking up it!
We visit the monasteries of Gangtok, Pemayangtse, Yuksom, Thasding, Kalimong and the tea gardens in Darjeeling.
Our biking starts from Kalimgong itself, and takes approximately 8 days. We cycle from the lush subtropical rain forests right into the highest terrain of the earth, where we reach Yuksom (First capital of Sikkim ) and the bottom of Kanchenjunga Himalayas. The return biking takes us through meadows, villages and along impressive hills. During our journey we will visit the monasteries of Rumtek, Pemayangtse, Dubdi, Kachiuri Lake, Thashding as well as the bustling town of Gangtok the new capital of Sikkim.
