A 200 km ride that is specially designed to explore the post monsoon greenery of the Sharavathi valley alongwith the gigantic Jog waterfalls. This is not a normal touristy ride to the waterfalls, but a unique experience of riding through the Sharavathi valley, cycling offroad at Kodachadri peak, dense forest, crossing ferries and experiencing wild Karnataka on two wheels.
Gokarna means cow's ear. It is believed that lord Shiva emerged from the ear of a cow (Prithvi, the Mother Earth) here. It is at the ear-shaped confluence of two rivers Gangavalli and Aghanashini. Gokarna has much to offer than just being a hindu pilgrimage village or paradise for solo travellers.
With its clear waters and picturesque landscapes, gokarna can be a great destination for cyclists. We will also be riding to Yana caves and Vibhuti waterfalls.
Situated amidst a breathtaking boulder-strewn, rusty-hued landscape along the banks of the Tungabhadra River, Hampi, drenched in history and imbued with old-world charm, must be on everyone’s bucket list. If there is one thing that you must do in Hampi, it is to get a bicycle and roam around the ruins and this sleepy village at a pace that keeps you discovering its beauty. Hampi is not a place to strike off from your wishlist in a rush; so let it work its magic on you—slowly
An epitome of wilderness, the Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary is located 70 km from Satara. Nestling within the Western Ghats. The dark and thick forest covered region of Mahabaleshwar / Koyana is a real hot spot for Hilly road cycling. Being a hill station, even the summer nights are cool. Whether you are looking to ride on local village roads surrounded with strawberry plantations, or have a gentle cycle through the valley, you can do it straight at Koyna cycling with Pedal Thirst Adventures!!!
A 350 km ride that is specially designed to explore the monsoon greenery on the wild roads of Bhadra and Someshwara sanctuaries and some great waterfalls in the districts of Shivamogga and Chikmagalur. Also the coffee plantations in the region will add a feather to the ride.
The sanctuary takes its name from the Bhadra River, its lifeline. Popularly known as Muthodi Wildlife Sanctuary, after the village on its periphery, it was declared a Project Tiger reserve. But apart from the tiger, it is a great place to sight and observe other mammals, reptiles, and more than 250 species of birds, many of which are endemic to the Western Ghats.

A short patch where only cyclist and bikers are allowed will take the adventure on next level.

Anyone who has taken a group tour with PTA knows just how important the guide is to the success or failure of the trip. A good guide can elevate and enhance the experience, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime and make guests want to return. Before the plan's execution it has been tested by group leader himself to mark the stoppages, places to vist and uphill-downhill patches .
Call us lucky, but when we travelled, we managed to satisfy both our curiosity and cravings without stepping out of the comfort of the home stays that we were staying in. Our team and some of our riders share their stories about discovering local food in home stays across India. Get your taste buds tingling.
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
