We certainly have the trails for ourselves and a delicious chai always awaits us. Our mtb tour in the Indian Himalayas is a combination of riding, fun, adventure and Indian culture. With stage lengths between 40 and 90 km, the stages are sporty, but also invite for nice breaks. We are practically on the trail of the legendary MTB Himalaya race – only without racing stress. The tour starts in the British-influenced Hillstation Shimla and ends in Mcleod Ganj with the Dalai Lama on the doorstep. We designed the tour in such a way that we are on the road with two bike guides and there are always two different partial routes to choose from . Best time April-June, September-November.
