Cycling at Jaisalmer

Under Category:

Bicycles can be hired almost anywhere in Rajasthan for a song. Though the bikes tend to be basic, they are foolproof and unlikely to develop major snags. The period of hire can range from a few hours to a few days. However, those looking forward to doing some serious biking in the state should opt to buy racy, gear bicycles that are available in all major towns and are not expensive. At the end of a trip, such bikes can either be sold or simply gifted away.
