Day: 1 - Arrival

The delightful state on the west coast of the country is endowed with plenty of attraction. Cavelossim village in south Goa is one such place, which we chose to begin one of the most memorable bike trips in India. After your arrival at the Goa international airport, you will be escorted to a pre booked hotel at the calm Cavelossim village. Day 1 is entirely dedicated to rest and leisure. Although the bikes will be handed over to the guests, so if you wish to sway in the sea breeze, we can go for a quick spin. Spending some time amidst the sound of the lapping waves would be helpful in getting a hang of your bike. At this point, any adjustments can be done to the bike if needed. Dinner and overnight stay will be at Cavelossim.

Day: 2 Local Sightseeing

The second day of the tour is reserved for sightseeing the lush green country-side. The treasure-trove includes a circular route to cover all of the major attractions in the south goa, namely Fartrade, Pedda, Benaulim, Varca, Orlimand and Carmona. It’s a warm up cycling day, so most of the trails are on flat terrains. Day 2 is the official kick start of the bike tour, so we would cover only a short distance of 30 kms before coming back to Cavelossim for an overnight stay. While exploring the softer, gentler and calmer side of Goa, we cover plenty of pit stops around the palm-fringed long stretches of golden beaches. On these occasional stops, we make sure that you get the true taste of the cultural synthesis. Be it the lip-smacking midway lunch or the fresh coconut water, the trip to a nearby village would offer a handful of offbeat Goan experiences.

The stroll around these hotspots is filled with unsurpassed beauty. The entire stretch is adjacent to the shoreline, which indeed is perfect to create a soothing experience. The continuous sound of waves would trigger a soothing experience.

On one hand, the lapping waves would ease your travel fatigue, while on the other side of the bike trails, the vibrant smiles of the beach villagers would instil your heart with warmth. The vibrancy that Goa is known for comes from its beaches. Therefore, we would make occasional halts to let you explore the vivid and lively beachside. Our guides will also help you to choose the best spots for swimming and dive deep into the true essence of holidaying in Goa. The coastal state is filled with choices, so it depends where you want to spend time at a lively beach or want to soak in the sun at a quieter and secluded beach.

Day: 5 Cavelossim-Old Goa – Panaji

On day 5, a few panoramic vantage points await your arrivals. The energy you revived from a day’s break is now put to test when a few hillocks become part of your bike trails. We will leave Cavelossim and head towards old Goa. It was the colonial capital of the Portuguese and reckoned as the Rome of the East. The remains of the old city are beautifully preserved and most of them are acclaimed UNESCO world heritage sites. A tour of Old Goa would be incomplete without admiring the renaissance architecture at Basilica of Bom Jesus, St. Augustine ruins, Reis Magos Fort, Se Cathedral, and the best kept secret, the Divar island. After soaking in the unrivalled views of the Goan skies from here, we will hit the roads and travel to Panaji. Old Goa is a perfect hideout from the chaos of life, whereas Panaji is home to colourful villages exuding the flamboyant Portuguese Baroque style.
