Ride Route

Satna → Sanjay Dubri → Bandhavgarh → Kanha → Pench → Nagpur — open roads linking four of Madhya Pradesh's leading tiger landscapes.

Description

Push beyond limits. Find your wild. Roar and Ride is Speaking Wheels' first cycling safari: seven days riding the open roads between Sanjay Dubri, Bandhavgarh, Kanha and Pench, with an afternoon safari waiting at the end of nearly every stage. This isn't a ride with a jungle backdrop — it's a ride built around the jungle.

Edition 1 covers 450 km across three genuine stage days, capped by a 200 km marquee ride into Pench. In between, a rest day at Kanha and an afternoon safari most days keep this from being a pure endurance test — the tiger reserves are as much the point as the tarmac. Every stage is fully supported: technical backup, GPX navigation, volunteer support at turns, and a trailing vehicle for anyone who needs to stop.

Curated by Speaking Wheels, Pune, in partnership with Greetoe Hospitality, Satna — Roar and Ride combines SW's ride-leadership with Greetoe's on-ground safari and stay logistics.

Wild by nature. Supported by design. #pedaltohappiness
