Mountain Biking Workshop: Shimla & Kufri — 3 Days
Beginner-to-intermediate instruction in the Himalayas, covering forest trails and ridge terrain
This three-day workshop in the Shimla and Kufri region offers structured mountain biking instruction for riders new to off-road cycling. Participants train under guides from MTB Himalayas, progressing from foundational skills on a 25-kilometer route through pine forest and gentle elevation changes to a more demanding 28-kilometer ride through Hassan Valley—one of Asia's densest forest zones—with river crossings and wooden bridge sections. The workshop includes two nights at Eco Village Resort in Kufri, round-trip coach transport from Delhi, and a skills evaluation at the conclusion. Riders encounter elevation gains ranging from 200 to 800 meters across the two riding days, with 70–80 percent off-road terrain and opportunities to observe wildlife in the forest canopy.
