About Wellness & Adventure Retreats
Why We Do This
We’re convinced adventure is about much more than just cycling distance or speed. It’s about getting out of the city, breathing in fresh air, and actually feeling like you’ve pressed reset. Our retreats are for anyone who wants to slow down, connect with nature, and have a good time with people who get it.
What to Expect
- Every trip is a mix of mindful adventure getaways and plenty of downtime. Think guided rides (with route options - both easy and challenging), scenic hiking holidays, and even kayaking if the spot allows.
- Yoga and mindfulness sessions happen in some proper peaceful locations – not your usual studio vibe.
- Workshops, art, photography, organic farming, and more. If you want to learn something new, you can.
- Local food is a big part of the experience. Sometimes it’s a hilltop picnic, sometimes it’s Urrak cocktails by the backwaters (seriously, try it if you haven’t).
- All our stays are handpicked - expect riverfront homes, coffee estates, or organic farms. Always quiet, always with great views.
For Everyone, Not Just Cyclists
You don’t have to ride to join in. Non-cyclists come, chill, walk, join workshops, or just laze around with a book. There’s space for that.
We sort all the details - routes, bikes, guides, stays, even the little things like a hammock spot under a tree. Just show up. We’ll handle the rest.

My Story
We started Pedal in Tandem just to escape the city noise, to find freedom on two wheels. There’s nothing like crunching gravel, winding through sleepy villages, or discovering a secret trail. We spend ages scouting those hidden roads—half the fun’s in the journey, the climbs, the people you meet. And yeah, we’re bike nerds too. We build custom adventure bikes for folks who want something different. Whether it’s the Himalayas or a lazy Sunday in Bangalore, we’re here for the memories.
My Work
Curated Bicycle Tours & Retreats - We run single and multi-day offbeat cycling tours, retreats, and heritage rides—routes you won’t find on Google Maps.
Custom Adventure Bike Builds - We build made-to-measure bikes for those who want something truly their own, not just another showroom cycle.
Cycle School for Beginners - We help new riders get started, from basics to longer rides, in a chill, no-pressure way.
Rides for All Levels - Easy 25km spins, tough 65km+ climbs—there’s a ride for every mood and skill level.
More Than Just Cycling - We mix in yoga, art, organic farming, birdwatching—think of it as a full mind-body escape.
