Description
Experience the shared history of two countries.
On this tour you’ll cross borders, just as the smugglers of old once did, slipping between countries with their secret cargo. The route takes you through serene landscapes, where the stories of hidden trade still linger. As you ride, you’ll pass along parts of an old railway line once used by the Jhangeli train, now transformed into a peaceful cycling path. Scenic green spaces and quiet spots invite you to pause and reflect on the region’s past. The journey winds through open fields and tranquil lanes, blending adventure with the natural beauty of the countryside.
