THE LEOPARD TRAIL

Within 15 minutes of leaving the hotel we leave the main roads and drop into the forest. Twisty tarmac gives way to broken asphalt and soon to dirt and shale.The day will be spent switching from forest to forest with lovely tarmac interconnections.

150 kms – 9 hours

THE SHIKARI DEVI MOUNTAIN WOLF TRAIL

We take to the winding tarmac and leave it for a short downhill dirtroad. Re-catch the tarmac,past a lake for a long, footpeg scraping 65kms through apple country. The climb into wolf country, up an ancient trail to Shikari Devi, will take up the next two hours. Another gruelling pass, Magru Gala, will see us leave Seraj and return to the Sutlej. Back by night to welcome a shower.

290 kms – 12 to 16 hours

MOOLKOTI DARK MAGIC TRAIL

A relatively easy morning departure on thisday.We have a combination of dirt and tarmac routes that bring us through dense forests to the exquisite Moolkoti meadow for lunch! Forest trails abound and streams are everywhere.By now your riding would have improved by leaps and bounds and all thoughts of Covid and lockdowns a distant past! Back by 1700hrs.
