Who can do this tour?

The Rajasthan Cycling trail is a moderate intensity tour and ideal for a habitual cyclist. The vistas although pristine and culturally rich, the trail in Rajasthan is a mix of gentle climbs, steady descents, combined with plenty of flat roads that makes it a delight for a cycling enthusiast. Cyclists should be in relatively overall good physical shape with at least a moderate degree of cycling experience. Being physically fit will of course be a huge asset but as the tour is fully supported the van is always close at hand if needed.
We will be cycling through off terrain paths in parts, prior medium to long (50Km to 80Km) distance cycling is recommended, if not one must make the effort to put in some practice rides before joining the trail.
