From undefined/dayRural Homestay Biking tour in Darjeeling Hills
Destination Covered || Latpanchor * Chatakpur * Pulung Dong
Introduction || This 5-day mountain biking Darjeeling tour highlights newly developed travel circuits across the Darjeeling Hills, combining rural immersion with forested wilderness terrain. Structured as an off-route segment of biking North East India, the journey focuses on lesser-known trails within the Kurseong and Darjeeling subdivisions, offering an alternative to mainstream hill routes.
The ride begins in Latpanchor inside Mahananda Wildlife Sanctuary, a region increasingly known for its orange orchards and bird watching landscapes. From here, the route continues to Chatakpur in Senchal Wildlife Sanctuary, recognized for its panoramic mountain views, before proceeding to Pulung Dong, a scenic Lepcha village recently added to the rural tourism map of North Bengal. These interconnected corridors form distinctive mountain biking trails that reflect the quieter side of the Darjeeling Hills.
Accommodation throughout the tour is arranged in rural houses and lodges with basic amenities, reinforcing the terrain-connected character of this mountain biking India experience. The trails in this region have significantly lower traffic movement, making this an ideal off-route biking trail suitable for beginners while still offering meaningful exposure to Himalaya biking environments.
In this lesser-known part of Darjeeling, riders gain access to original rural Himalayan life, rewarding birding opportunities, and expansive mountain and valley views. Across four days of riding, approximately 100 kilometers are covered, with an average of 30 kilometers per day. For more enthusiastic riders, distances can be adjusted according to individual ability, allowing flexibility within this compact yet immersive mountain biking Darjeeling itinerary.
