If cycling through scenic countryside, past gurgling brooks in a valley below is your idea of a get-up-and-go thrill, then a mountain biking trip in the Himalayas is what you should sign up for. Lugging a heavy backpack and a bicycle up steep inclines require good reserves of stamina, so this adventure trip isn't for the unfit.



The Himalayan range offers a number of options when it comes to biking trails. Opt for a trail in the Terai forests, along the Himalayan foothills, in Nainital which has relatively less taxing stretches that can make for relaxing and breathtaking rides. One can bike from Thakurwada to Ramnagar, near the Corbett National Park.

From Himachal Pradesh to Uttaranchal, you could move from Kumarhatti on the picturesque Shimla-Kalka route and cycle up to Sarhan through an undulating road past pine forests.

From there, it is downhill through a denser forest to Nahan. En route, you will cross valleys and fields in the Doon Valley. Ladakh offers more challenging biking trails for hardcore biking enthusiasts while Sikkim's Eastern Himalayan range through Gangtok, Phedang, the Valley of Flowers and Yumthang make for several picturesque options as well.
