Start stretching and warming up because this Grasshopper Adventures cycling tour through India’s largest state, Rajasthan, will require some serious pedal power. You’ll kick things off in Jodhpur with a leisurely two-wheel cruise through the Blue City and a tour of the ancient Mehrangarh Fort, before riding onwards to the likes of Rohat, Jojawar, Ranakpur and Udaipur. Grand palaces, ancient forts, remote villages and bustling spice markets will make keeping your eyes on the road a tough ask, as will the Rajasthan landscape as it evolves from desert and farmland to lush valleys and wooded forests.
While the back roads of rural Rajasthan are mostly flat with little traffic, there are a few days of hill riding that should get your heart pumping. We hear the views are worth it though.
Go with Grasshopper Adventures for 8 days from US$3300.
A reasonable level of fitness is required.
