Greetings from India!

Hello!

Thanks for including me into this group! I am from Bengaluru, in Karnataka, India and I ride a 7*3 21 speed hybrid (700"35c).

Although I have been riding on and off since childhood (late 40s now), I now want to take up touring and hence trying to setup my bike accordingly.

Thanks,
B

Hi there. Never visited India, but always wanted to. How is the cycling there? Just recently read an article about India and honestly started to think about visiting the country. As far as I know, most of the countries can get an electronic visa here https://visa-to-india.com/, is it right? Is there a chance that visa application will not be approved? Should I purchase my tickets before or after the visa application

Bmblb Welcome from California! Had the chance to ride in Mumbai and Kochi in your country. What an experience! Even though it's busy and crowded, we felt pretty comfortable as the traffic keeps things at a slower pace. At least where we rode. Good luck with your touring excursions.
