Sikkim’s mountainous terrains offer a
fascination adventure for bicycling enthusiasts. The highways
winding up and down mountains with drops of thousands of feet
keep one too high on adrenalin to feel the slightest pinch of
monotony.
As one progresses along the route, there is a discernible
change in the flora and temperature. All along the route, the
interruption by picturesque and almost enchanting villages and
towns rich in cultural spots make a welcome diversion.
This mountain biking and
trek itinerary offers an exclusive
experience of Sikkim, Darjeeling, the Land, its people and the
flora & fauna. Biking is on remote roads avoiding high traffic
routes and meandering through the lush countryside and
forests, which will make this a memorable tour.
This itinerary has been designed to give
you the maximum
exposure to the land and people of Sikkim and a glimpse of
Darjeeling. We bike covering almost all the West, North and
East district of Sikkim with the amazing glimpses of the
Khangchendzonga ranges, the impressive monasteries and the
cultural and traditional life of the people of this enchanting
place.
The best time to experience Sikkim by mountain bike would be
March-May and October- December.
