When I first joined the Best of Rajasthan on Bicycle tour with La Tour De India, I had no idea it would change the way I travel. Rajasthan is known for its forts, palaces, and colorful bazaars — but cycling here is an entirely different experience. You don’t just see Rajasthan, you feel it, pedal by pedal.

Our route combined the famous cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Pushkar, and Agra with hidden treasures like Kumbhalgarh, Jawai, and Chandelao. This mix made the journey truly special — I got the royal experience of big cities and the raw beauty of rural Rajasthan in one ride.

Mornings on the Saddle

Each day began with the sun rising slowly over the fields, painting the sky in shades of gold and pink. The cool morning breeze on my face, the sound of birds, and the rhythmic turn of the pedals — it was the kind of start that fills you with energy.

As we rode through small villages, children ran alongside waving and laughing, farmers stopped their work to greet us, and women carrying water pots smiled shyly at us. These small moments gave me a deep sense of connection — something I’d never felt while rushing through places in a car.

Sometimes we stopped at local tea stalls for a hot cup of chai, sometimes at farms where fresh roti and buttermilk were offered straight from the stove. Every stop felt authentic and heartwarming.

Experiences Along the Way

Cycling allowed us to truly discover Rajasthan’s layers. In Chandelao, I met artisans who’ve kept their crafts alive for generations. In Jawai, I experienced the unique harmony of people living alongside leopards in the wild. In Pushkar, pedaling through the holy town’s narrow lanes gave me glimpses of colorful ghats, temples, and street life that I would have missed otherwise.

What made it even more enriching were our guides from La Tour De India. They weren’t just leading the way; they shared stories, history, and local insights that brought every place alive. Their passion for cycling and Rajasthan made the journey even more meaningful.

The Evenings

After a day of cycling, the evenings were equally memorable. Thanks to La Tour De India’s careful planning, we stayed in boutique properties, heritage havelis, and even forts converted into charming hotels. Imagine ending the day sitting in a centuries-old courtyard, listening to folk music, or just enjoying the silence of the desert night sky.

The food was another highlight — hot Rajasthani curries, fresh rotis, and sweets that tasted even better after hours on the cycle. Every meal felt like an extension of the culture we were experiencing on the road.

What Made It Special

This wasn’t just a tour; it was a collection of experiences. It was about meeting people, listening to folk songs, tasting local food, and pedaling through landscapes that changed every few kilometers. From busy bazaars to quiet villages, from royal palaces to simple mud houses — Rajasthan revealed itself in its purest form.

And the best part? I never felt like a tourist. I felt like I was part of the land, sharing moments with people who live here every day. That’s the magic of cycling with La Tour De India — they make you slow down, look around, and truly connect.
