Cycling in India on the Hippie Trail – Read the Reviews

The following are rider comments from the 2015 Hippie Trail cycling tour:

“A great time, far better than I had expected, arrived home feeling fit and happy with the tour. Would highly recommend, I’ve been on many tours with different companies and this was the best.”

“Despite the physical and mental immediacy of cycling through India there is now a dreamlike aspect to my memories. I feel like I was very far away, in place and time, like having spent some time on another planet and having returned having it feel so very far away and long ago…and yet it lingers in my psyche.”

“I love to travel – what better way than by bike – loved the country especially riding through the small villages with the smiling faces, a friendly culture, met some good people to ride with, lost a ton of weight and got fitter, this was one great experience for me – it is something I’ll always remember….” – Clive Smith (UK)

“I’m having a hard time coming down to earth after a truly magical experience in India. I’ve been to India before, but never from the vantage point of a bike where I felt so involved with the sights, the sounds, the people and in fact every aspect of the wonderful country that is India. The people were unfailingly kind and helpful and I loved the whole experience.”

“I knew very little about India before this tour. The tour helped me focus my attention on it (through books, articles, radio broadcasts, etc.) and, of course, experiencing it on a bike provides a visceral feel for the place. The main reason I go on these tours is to expand my understanding of the world (biking is a distant second) and this tour definitely put us in the thick of things — always a great way to learn.”

“Going deep in to an amazing country- where every other tour just touches the surface”

“Bring an open mind! 🙂 Even though I was ill several times while there I really enjoyed the daily adventures such an open and curious people present to oneself while on the road. Every chai stop was an opportunity to have fun and experience something new. The best thing about both trips I’ve done with TDA is the amazing variety of people who decide to make such journeys by bike. We had a 44 year spread in ages on this trip and everyone got along, helped & learned from one another. I’m already looking forward to my next TDA adventure!”

“If you are looking for a challenge and want to a ride of a lifetime, then consider the Indian Adventure. It will take you out of your comfort zone, expose you to different ways of thinking, and, in the end, be one of your most rewarding experiences.”
