A couple of hours south of Bangkok lies a fertile lowland with a network of canals, orchards and a huge forest reserve – a tranquil land and lifestyle that is an important facet of Thailand that most visitors never see.
We start by visiting the Damnoen Saduak floating market, a canal packed with small boats selling just about everything before taking a long tail boat ride through the network of canals. We begin our bike ride, along country roads, cycling through orchards and temples, finishing at a canalside hotel.
Day two takes in traffic-free roads and trails with beautiful scenery, entering Kaeng Krachan national park, cycling over a large dam and alongside reservoir, stopping at a secluded hotel in the hills.
On day three we cycle through fishing villages with schools and temples, and along the coast for excellent views of the sea.

The Colombian Andes form the northernmost stretch of this majestic South American mountain range. Lofty peaks shrouded in cloud forests, rugged canyons carved by rushing rivers, and foothills dotted with cattle pastures and coffee plantations create an intriguing landscape for a bike journey. A long history and living heritage are ever-present in the traditions of indigenous groups and the terracotta-hued architecture of towns built by Spanish explorers. This 12-day bike journey takes us from the capital, Bogotá, north through the Departments of Boyacá and Santander, riding from one heritage-rich Andean town to the next, each seemingly lifted from a painting. We tackle gravel roads, conquer technical climbs and descents, take in breathtaking views, sip fresh coffee, discover local crafts, savour traditional cuisine, and embrace the spirited charm of Colombian hospitality!
Starting from Bogotá’s high-altitude urban buzz, we drive north for a gentle warm-up ride in the Andean foothills, leading us to the cliffs of Suarez. Over the next few days, the cycling gets longer, higher, and tougher as we ride a mix of paved and gravel roads through an agrarian hinterland filled with cattle ranches, farmlands, and villages where artisans craft colourful ponchos and intricate ceramics. Next, the scenery shifts dramatically as we traverse the Candelaria Desert – the “desert of souls” – with its arid moorlands, rocky paths, and an ancient astronomical observatory. After a night in Villa de Leyva, one of Colombia’s best-preserved colonial towns, we transition into the highlands of Santander, riding past waterfalls, through rainforests, and past stone churches. The final two riding days take us up and down the Suarez River valley along winding gravel roads, culminating in an ascent to Barichara, one of the country's most beautiful heritage towns, perched atop a plateau. We end by exploring this gem of a town on foot before transferring to Bucaramanga for onward flights or extended stays.
Join us on this adrenaline-pumping, culturally-enriching bike adventure through the Colombian Andes!

Once the stopover for ancient nomadic Bedouins, Jordan is now enthralling a new generation of adventure travellers. Follow in the footsteps of Roman Emperor Hadrian, the Prophet Moses, and Lawrence of Arabia and explore the majestic ruins of bygone civilizations, the uber-salty Dead Sea, and the bare sands of Wadi Rum. Mountain biking on former caravan routes offers a local perspective, getting you up close and personal to the shepherds and perhaps even to a camel or two.
From vibrant and urban Amman, flanked by ancient citadels and Roman ampitheatres, we explore this oasis of the Middle East from north to south. When possible we transfer high and bike down, including a descent to the lowest place on earth, the Dead Sea. Float and cover yourself in mud before heading up to Mount Nebo, where Moses looked across at the Promised Land, from which we descend to the edge of the Dana Nature Reserve, a bird watcher's paradise. Dirt trails take us along a ridge and eventually above Petra, though the city itself is purposefully difficult to see and will be discovered the next day on foot. Trade ancient civilizations for the stark desert of Wadi Rum, also known as the valley of the moon. We re-hydrate at the Red Sea, our last stop in southern Jordan.
Jordan will be unveiled to you in a myriad of layers, from ancient ruins, vibrant culture, unique overnights to exquisite cuisine and all while biking the length of the country.

Cycling Kerala's Backroads was an amazing experience all around. Challenging cycling, delicious food, great guides, and countless interactions with locals. The warmth and fun of the people was the best. Solid mix of doable distances, with cultural experiences. Cooking at the Barbeque in Mannar was a wonderful experience.

Soaring mountains, endless forests, ancient monasteries, and a proud heritage – the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan beckons intrepid cyclists to traverse its breathtaking landscapes and explore its rich traditions. This epic 15-day journey is the final word in cycling tours through the 'Land of the Thunder Dragon' following the Lateral Road – Bhutan’s primary east-west route – for 785 km, from the capital Thimphu at the foot of the Himalayas to the border outpost of Samdrup Jongkhar on the edge of the Assam Plain. But it’s not just about the thrill of the ride – we also slow down to discover Bhutan’s most iconic dzongs (fortified monasteries) and immerse ourselves in a highland world of untamed woodlands, grazing herds of yaks, and rural bliss.
We begin in Paro with a visit to Bhutan’s iconic Tiger’s Nest Monastery, an unforgettable hike that also serves as a warm-up for our lungs and legs! The next day, based in Thimphu, we tackle the formidable Dochula Pass, rewarded with a long, winding descent into Punakha Valley, where we explore the country’s most photogenic dzong. From here we follow gushing rivers and rugged mountain passes to reach the Bumthang Valley, the spiritual heartland of Bhutan. A rest day allows us to discover the birthplace of Bhutanese Buddhism before we venture into the remote Tang and Ura valleys where glistening rice paddies blanket the rolling hills. The final stage of our adventure features simply stunning scenery as we rise and fall with the contours of the Himalayan foothills to reach Trashigang, the easternmost point on Bhutan’s Lateral Road. And finally, after a last set of gradual climbs, we relish in the grand finale: a descent from over 2,000 metres to near sea level as we roll to the Bhutanese border with the Indian state of Assam. On the last day we cross into India and drop you off in the bustling city of Guwahati, where you can catch your onward flight.
Join us on this extraordinary journey and discover the mystical land of Bhutan by bike!

This trip pushed me to the limits of my fitness in the best way. The guide and drivers were kind, friendly and supportive. I saw parts of the country I never could have experienced from a car.
I had a wonderful time, and cannot say enough about the support and guidance received from Sert, Pong and Rong.

Peru is a remarkably diverse country. One day you find yourself in the heartland of the Incas perched high in the Andean mountains, and the next you are surrounded by the dense jungle canopy of Amazon Rainforest. This mountain/gravel bike tour has been designed to capture this contrast at its most spectacular, utilizing a network of roads and trails that span the Sacred Valley of the Incas and parts of Manu National Park in the Amazon Basin. Included in the tour is a visit to Machu Picchu, simply a must-see when visiting Peru!
Starting in Cusco, one of the world’s highest altitude cities (3,300 m ASL) and the former capital of the Inca Empire, we ride north surrounded by towering peaks and scenic valleys where agricultural terraces cascade down the hillsides. We then rise to the Peruvian Altiplano before making a gradual descent into Manu National Park, experiencing a mesmerizing visual shift as we drop from the edge of the Andes to the cloud forest of the Amazon. We spend the night at a cloud forest research station and descend further into the lowlands of the Amazonian rainforest, where we have a day off the bikes to experience one of the world’s most biodiverse frontiers. We then return to the Sacred Valley of the Incas where we enjoy 3 days of blissful cycling to discover Incan ruins, colorful towns, indigenous villages, the picturesque Maras Salt Pans oh so much more. On Day 9 we visit the “Lost City of the Incas” – Machu Picchu – and we’ll get there and back via one of the world’s stunning train journeys. A hallmark of this tour is the frequency of exhilarating downhill blitzes, and we save the best for last when on Day 10 we ride down from the Lares Valley into the town of Calca. The tour concludes back in Cusco.
Join us on this once-in-a lifetime Peruvian odyssey highlighting the very best of the Sacred Valley of the Incas with an exhilarating descent into the Amazon Rainforest!
