Get down and dirty on the trails
Dharamshala is home to some of the most challenging and exciting mountain biking tracks in India. Challenge yourself by taking on steep inclines, rocky terrain, and long stretches of dirt roads.
Mountain Biking is an outdoor activity of riding a bicycle on different kinds of off-road trails. It requires endurance, speed, balance and technical skills to navigate through rough terrains. Unlike road bikers, mountain bikers pursue obstacles and see the world as a natural and challenging playground full of winding trails. Vertical downhill sections, steep ascents, loose rocks, water crossings, tree roots: everything is an opportunity to put their abilities to the test!
There are different mountain biking disciplines, ranging from adrenaline-pumping descents to gentle rides on scenic forest trails. Whether you are a seasoned biker or a complete beginner, you are likely to find a perfect trail to match your level and abilities. For those who are new to mountain biking, going out with a guide is highly recommended.We customize Mountain Biking tours along the remote virgin trails in the Dhauladhar mountains. The activity is customized on request for min of 5 people.
Knowing how to handle a mountain bike, as well as feeling comfortable and confident with the equipment ―from the bike’s saddle, the height of pedals, the brakes and the position of the helmet― is essential for this activity. Being able to fix any mechanical problems that may occur along the way is another necessary skill.
Mountain biking is a dynamic sport that involves a total body workout. On a ride you not only work out your legs and strengthens your heart and lungs, but also exercises your upper body (when climbing with your bike or maneuvering with your arms). Cycling also boosts riders’ balance, coordination and stability.
Exploring the outdoors and changing scenery on every ride makes mountain biking also a mentally relaxing and stress-relieving activity.
