If you love bike rides and long distance biking then you must cover these routes in India! Easy day trips from each state capital that help riders get outside, when the time is right, while responsibly social distancing. Taking one’s bike for a smooth spin out of town has been off the books for a while. Less than 150 kilometres, ride one-way leading to remote areas.

These aren’t arduous journeys, just simple jaunts that take riders through hill country, forests, natural wonders, and lakes. So pack your backpack and get on your bike for some fresh air!
