Itinerary
You will be picked up from your hotel in the morning and driven 12 miles out of Bikaner from where your cycling tour will start. Your guide-cum-instructor will meet you there and get you set up with your bicycle. The guide will make any adjustments to the bike and will ensure that you are comfortable on your bike before you start. Then pedal your way down the road that leads to the village of Kodamdesar. Take in the striking desert landscape and enjoy the quiet. You will spot herds of sheep grazing on the occasional green patch or making their way to the next one. The surrounding Magra Desert is also home to camels, antelopes, gazelles and wild-foxes. If you are lucky you may spot one of them. Stop at Lake Kodamdesar for a rest from the cycling. Visit the Bhairu temple nearby.
