Experience the thrill of cycling around Goa’s pristine landscape
WHEN you think of Goa, you instinctively ween an image resembling paradise. With its paddy fields, quaint village roads, Portuguese homes, Goa serves as an abode of tranquillity. What better way to explore this scenic beauty than by cycling. It gives you the freedom to embark on a journey – absorbing the landscape, assimilating local culture, admiring heritage spots and discovering a side of Goa, you would otherwise miss if travelling by a four-wheeler.
CYCLING GOA
“Goa is one of the most explored travel destinations in India and around the globe,” says Dr. Pankaj Mhatre, Secretary of Cycling Goa. Registered by the Cycling Association of Goa, Cycling Goa was formed in 2013 by a group of recreational and cycling enthusiasts. They organize tours keeping in mind the destination and distance attempted by a recreational cyclist. Till date, this is one group who has covered every part of Goa. “Be it serene Mollem and trails across Dudhsagar Falls or all the Western Ghat sections like Chorla, Tillari, Anmod or beach lines of Agonda, Benaulim in South to Calangute, Candolim in North or interior forest areas of Valpoi, Mhadei. You name the area, we’ve covered it,” Dr. Mhatre remarks.
