Challenge details

Your expedition begins in the hustle and bustle of Delhi. Take some time to get behind the chaotic facade and discover the inner peace of a city rich with culture, architecture and human diversity.

Then move on to Agra, home of the Taj Mahal where you can explore the monument before your biking challenge begins. Your bike will take you to more remote locations than most other modes of transport, bringing you in direct contact with the country and its people.

Once in Rajasthan the region offers dramatic desert landscape, fantastic wildlife, exquisite forts, bustling cities and rural life that seems frozen in time.

You will be one of the first few mountain bikers to explore this idyllic region, punctuated with villages reminiscent of a time gone by. Traditional rural lifestyles remain preserved and a friendly smile leaves a lasting memory.

Your ride ends in Rajasthan's capital city, Jaipur, whose welcoming air ends your challenge idyllically.
