Accommodation:
The nature camp run by the Kali Tiger Reserve in Kulgi is designed to allow nature lovers to soak in the sights and sounds of the reserve. The property and its surroundings are a bird lover's paradise. Trekking and safari services are available close at hand.
The waterfront property in Colomb beach, Goa is a little slice of heaven wedged between the busier Palolem and Patnem beaches. Colomb is a bay so the waters are relatively still and form an idyllic setting to watch the sun go down while relaxing on the restaurant deck.

Rajhesh
I have done this tour twice now, with Pedal in Tandem, and each time I have come off it with etched memories, refreshed mental state, a few aching bones/muscles, but in a good way. Cycling through jungles, single-tracks, and speeding downhills through pristine forests, and then to top it off with the sunsets in Goa. This is truly a great tour curated by Dheeraj and Poojya. Nobody does it better.
