Overview
Following on from a magical second run of Indian Rickshaw Ride in 2016, Chris thought we’d spice it up a little for 2017! So this year we’ll be completing 3 separate journeys through the Rajasthani desert totaling nearly 2000km, on traditional Indian bicycles, 3-person auto rickshaws and Enfield motorbikes! You’ll get together as one group at the start of the adventure in Delhi, but will then take different trains out to Rajasthan to set out on the three separate routes, which cross over on the second, penultimate and final day of the tour, making for a grand trifecta convoy to take us up to the FTC project base near Kumbalgarh in the Aravali Hills, and then on to the Virgin supported community itself.
Rajasthan is one of India's most captivating states, famed for its Rajput forts and palaces, desert villages, spice markets and the warmth of its people. However the deserved popularity of Rajasthan’s key sights sometimes leaves scant room for a sense of adventure. This trip is the perfect antidote to this!
Each journey takes in a wonderful pastiche of rural Rajasthan, and while they will all bring riders to the same end destination, the experiences and challenges along the way will be different for each group. The cycling route is exactly the same as our tried and tested classic “Cycle India” (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014), the rickshaw ride is a variation of our 2015 and 2016 route, whilst the Enfield route includes some new and exciting destinations including the magical lake city of Pushkar. Numbers of participants for each route will be limited to keep the overall group size manageable, so get your places booked!
Highlights
Have lots of fun riding a bike, traditional rickshaw, or Enfield motorbike!
Stay in gorgeous heritage properties and restored palaces.
Take in views of the Aravali Hills and historic Deogarh.
Visit a small, Virgin-sponsored community in the Kumbhalgarh region to donate your vehicles.
WHAT MAKES US STAND OUT
GRASSHOPPER STYLE
This unique tour provides the chance to explore India’s historic Rajasthan state in one of three methods of travel. Choose a bicycle, rickshaw or motorbike and head off on a custom adventure! While each method of travel will bring you on a different route, there will be some shared destinations and all adventurers will meet up at the end of the ride. Each route allows you to explore beautiful sights, cultural stops, and visit a community sponsored by Virgin where we’ll donate the vehicles we’ve used in order to improve the lives of the villagers. You’re making a difference as you discover the wonders of India!
