The Bicycle Trip

07/04/2021

Being locked down at home together for weeks, fighting for the internet, toggling different routines yet managing to spend precious time together - families as a unit have come closer and grown together in a year which was nothing less than a challenge.

It was only poetic to kick off our post-covid season by hosting a lovely family on our classic heritage tour. A fun bicycle trip to create beautiful memories together.

Join us on one of our Signature day trips or book a weekend full of biking with your parents or siblings or children and bring a fresh flavour to your holidays.

Head over to the link in bio to know what it's like to bike with your loved ones.

Most cultures have immense value hidden in their philosophical depths achieved through their existence over time. One such gem is Yugen, which was discovered in Chinese texts and is an important principle in Noh, a traditional Japanese theatrical form.

Yugen, to us, is a feeling that is experienced once we truly immerse in the minuteness of the beauty that surrounds the various aspects of our world - internal as well as external. A feeling that sinks our heart and engulfs us in an inexplicable awe. A feeling that touches our being to the extent of transforming us.

Or as Zeami Motokiyo, 14th century Japanese aesthetician, puts it:
“To watch the sun sink behind a flower clad hill. To wander on in a huge forest without thought of return. To stand upon the shore and gaze after a boat that disappears behind distant islands. To contemplate the flight of wild geese seen and lost among the clouds…”

We hope Yugen sets the tone for 2021 as well as for the remaining years of our life and be the guiding word to deeply feel in our hearts the emotions generated from the beauty that exists on this planet.

Hi there, hope you're staying safe and strong.

We have designed a short survey to know the pulse on global issues that concern each one of us. It will be of great research value to us if you could spare roughly 5 minutes to share your opinion on a few questions.

Together we can all make the world a better place, but big things begin with small steps. :)

Thank you!

If 2020 wasn't bad enough already, here's some more bad news. This we want to draw your attention to a disaster in the making in Goa.
