Spotlight of the Month: Epic Cycle Routes  

Vast and diverse, India is a land of contrast – making it ideal for all types of cyclists. Join Cycling Through Rajasthan for a two-wheeled adventure in the Land of Kings, taking in regal forts and princely palaces, plus the ever-sublime Taj Mahal. Alternatively, take it down a notch on Cycle the Coast of Kerala. You’ll ride at a leisurely pace to witness tropical shores, meet the always-friendly local people and spend a night cruising the backwaters on a traditional houseboat. Utter bliss.

For a ride that combines history, culture and sensational scenery, think Vietnam. Cycling Vietnam is the adventure of a lifetime, riding from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi. Expect beautiful views of jungle-covered mountains, white-sand beaches and the folding rice terraces of the Mekong Delta. Want even more variety? Join Cycle Indochina & Angkor, which takes in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam – allowing you to experience the diverse landmarks, cultures and cuisines of each.

Spain may be closer to home, but it’s just as magical. Cycling the Mediterranean Coast in Spain is the perfect introduction to the country. The mix of a mild climate, diverse landscapes and well-maintained cycling paths make it one of the best places for cycling holidays. Then there’s Cycling Girona and the Catalan Coast, which takes you on disused railway lines, quiet roads and coastal paths (plus some challenging climbs). It’s so good, the cycling pros train here. But don’t worry – we don’t have to keep up with them.

Italy has it all. Chic coastlines, quiet countryside, challenging climbs… and the chance to fuel your pedalling with pizza and pasta. Experience a taste of it all on Cycling Puglia & Matera, a ride along the heel of Italy, starting in the 10,000-year-old cave town of Matera. Alternatively, head off the mainland for Cycling in Sicily. Expect classic Mediterranean landscapes, millennia-old history and – you guessed it – some of the best food in the country.

Costa Rica is known for its astonishing landscapes – make the saddle your front-row seat. Join our Costa Rica Coast to Coast Ride to marvel at volcanoes, rainforests and coffee plantations over two weeks, with the bonus of joining our eagle-eyed tour leader to spot the incredible wildlife that lives here. You’ll also explore both Pacific and Caribbean coastlines on this trip, allowing you to see the diverse wonders of this welcoming country.
