Introduction || Sikkim’s natural splendour unfolds along the higher ridges of its eastern, northern, and western frontiers bordering Bhutan, Tibet, and Nepal. Many of these high-altitude international border zones have limited access for travellers, particularly for non-Indians, due to sensitive border regulations, mainly with China. This 2-week-long rigorous mountain biking Sikkim expedition is crafted for experienced riders who want to explore these less-travelled and demanding terrains within a serious mountain biking India framework. Over the course of two weeks, the route covers the eastern and northern frontiers, reaching elevations up to 5,500 meters. The journey begins in Aritar in East Sikkim and proceeds through Pangolakha Sanctuary along the Bhutan and Tibetan border before reaching Gangtok. These stretches form some of the most remote mountain biking trails in the region, combining borderland ridges with protected alpine ecosystems. From Gangtok, the ride continues further north into progressively higher landscapes marked by sweeping views of snow mountain ranges, alpine lakes, plateaus, nomadic villages, rhododendron valleys, yak pastures, and sub-alpine forests. The route ultimately leads into the trans-Himalayan cold deserts beyond Thangu, representing one of the most extreme segments of North Sikkim biking and a defining chapter of Himalaya biking in eastern India. During certain sections of this biking North East India journey, overnight stays are rudimentary and climatic conditions can be harsh. However, for hard-core riders seeking to test endurance and adrenaline at altitude, this rigorous expedition can become a lifetime, dream-fulfilling achievement within the realm of advanced mountain biking Sikkim.
