Our Story
Our journey started when our founder, Pankaj Mangal, set out one morning for a 100km ride to a remote fishing camp. He returned surprised, enthralled by the outdoors, and moved by the simplicity of countryside living. The sheer joy of exploring the world on two wheels, powered by nothing but his own strength, left a profound impact on him.
Inspired by this realization, he founded Art of Bicycle Trips, specializing in crafting distinctive cycling and e-bike adventures around the world. We prioritize authentic local experiences that enable you to form meaningful connections with the destination, all while contributing to the well-being of local communities.
"The profound transformation I underwent during my inaugural cycling journey compelled me to bestow this same enriching experience upon fellow travelers."

At Art of Bicycle Trips, we believe that every cyclist is as unique as the journey itself. That's why we've crafted a collection of cycling adventures that puts you, the cyclist, at the heart of the experience.
When you set out on one of our cycling journeys, you're not just joining a tour – you're creating a journey that reflects your passions, preferences, and aspirations. Whether you're an avid cyclist seeking challenging terrains or a group of leisurely explorer looking to soak in the scenery by bike, our personalized approach ensures that your adventure is a true reflection of you.
And, as our name suggests, it is our constant endeavor to raise each bicycle trip to the level of an art form, and we strive to apply this aesthetic principle to every element of your bike tours.
Our Philosophy
Our guiding philosophy is inspired by the French notion of joie de vivre and the Japanese concept of Ikigai. Joie de vivre translates into the joy of living, a cheerful, childlike enjoyment of life. Ikigai, on the other hand, means a passion that gives value and joy to life, a reason for being. The Japanese believe that Ikigai is the secret to living a long and happy life. Together, these two notions encapsulate what we at Art of Bicycle Trips believe in.
