MOUNTAIN BIKING
   TREKKING

Moutain Biking is another adventure that has been recently introduced in Sikkim and the state is fast becoming a favourite destination for mountain bikers. There are a number of mountain bike routes throughout the state. While some are ideals for a technical mountain biking experience, other routes offer landscape to ride through.

Currently there are a number of new routes that have been introduced in Sikkim:

If you want to rip the white waters, then you will have to reach Melli. Ideally rafting can be done enroute, between Gangtok to Darjeeling, Gangtok to Kalimpong or Gangtok to Siliguri. Before you head for this adventure, make sure you carry extra cloths, and towels as you are bound to get wet by the splash of luxuriant river. The raft operators generally give instructions before boarding you in, which needs to be followed during the trip. The routes for non swimmers are gentle and easy without much rapids involved. However for the swimmers and experienced clients, the routes are more adventurous with high grade rapids providing quite a thrill.
