Five nights, four untouched corners of Araku.
Arrive on the eve. Settle in. Then for four days, ride out at first light from Satori Valley — covering 50 to 70 kilometres of forest roads and ridge passes — and return by support van each evening, your bicycle quietly following on the back.
Arrival at Satori Valley
Take the train into Araku Valley and alight at Darliput Railway Station — one of the most beautiful rail journeys in India, winding through tunnels and coffee plantation slopes. From the station it's a short transfer to Satori Valley. Check in, meet your fellow cyclists, get fitted to your bike, and gather around a quiet welcome dinner. A short orientation to the daily Zen rhythm — the morning bell, the silence hours, the spirit of the place — sets the tone for the four days ahead.
To Duduma Waterfall
Set off through native forests, tribal hamlets, fields and paddy terraces toward one of India's tallest waterfalls. The ride traces a contoured ridge — sweeping descents, generous shade, and a thunderous reward at the end.
To Deomali Hills
The highest peak in Odisha. A long, steady climb through grasslands and bamboo groves opens into one of the most spectacular vistas in the Eastern Ghats — clouds rolling in below your wheels.
Katiki Waterfall & Borra Caves
A gentler day with two destinations. Pedal to the limestone marvel of Borra — million-year-old stalactites lit by streaming sun — then onward to the secluded Katiki falls, where you can bath under a 50-foot cascade.
To Tharabu Waterfalls
The farewell ride. A quiet, lesser-known route through coffee plantations and pepper vines, ending at the cascading pools of Tharabu — perfect for a final swim and a long lunch. Back at Satori Valley, a closing dinner under the stars, then easy goodbyes the following morning.
Departure on the morning of Day 5, after breakfast.
