About The Trail

Previously, having experienced passion of highest kinds as we had pedaled through five mighty Himalayan passes facing dizzying heights, winding roads and yet feeling the elation of standing right next to a sign that read ‘2nd highest motorable road in the world’. It was time to go beyond borders and nations to seek what our passion had set for us. 15 passion seekers went on a journey that was meant for those who believe in themselves and would take that extra step forward to achieve the ultimate cycling goal. Together, they pedaled towards the Kingdom of Bhutan. Situated at the eastern end of the Himalayas, Bhutan is no ordinary place, it is the kingdom woven with mystery and magic. This is where they discovered what it was to live for passion in tranquil and serenity. From witnessing the first traces of human evolution to a journey back to 3rd Century BC, followed by a rendezvous with Chanderi, discovering the hidden gem of Central India Orchha, and witnessing the majestic grace of Khajuraho’s 1000 year old architecture – the Culture & Heritage Trail, Madhya Pradesh offered a multitude of historically rich experiences for our experience seekers. Have a look!
