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."
Your People. Your Ride.
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.
How we Work?
At Art of Bicycle Trips, we believe that the best travel experiences are rooted in local knowledge and authentic connections. That’s why we collaborate closely with some of the finest local specialists based in each tour region. These local partners are not just service providers — they are our co-creators.
Together, we design each itinerary with deep insight into the region’s culture, landscape, cuisine, and hidden gems. From the initial planning stages to daily on-ground operations, our local teams ensure that every aspect of your journey reflects the true spirit of the destination.
This collaborative approach enables us to offer more meaningful and immersive travel experiences. You’ll not only cycle through scenic routes and stay at handpicked accommodations, but also gain unique access to local communities, traditions, and flavors — guided by those who call the place home.
