The India cycle tourism market size was estimated at USD 3.48 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 10.30 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 13.0% from 2025 to 2033. Travellers, both domestic and international, are moving away from conventional sightseeing in favour of active journeys that offer immersive, ground-level interaction with nature and local cultures. From coastal trails to mountainous terrain, India's geographic diversity provides ideal settings for multi-day cycling tours, heritage rides, and adventure circuits. Not limited to elite athletes or hardcore adventurers, these experiences also attract leisure travellers, families, and corporate groups. With cycling seen as both a wellness pursuit and an eco-friendly mode of travel, a new segment of experiential tourism is firmly taking shape across the country.
From a policy standpoint, cycle tourism has begun to garner institutional support through both tourism and urban development agendas. The Ministry of Tourism has encouraged states to incorporate cycling into eco-tourism circuits, positioning it as a low-impact travel mode that aligns with India's sustainability goals. Programs such as the Swadesh Darshan scheme have supported the integration of cycle-friendly infrastructure within thematic tourism circuits, including nature trails and cultural corridors.
Additionally, the Smart Cities Mission has accelerated investments in non-motorised transport, leading to the development of dedicated cycling lanes, improved signage, and accessible urban trails that also double as recreational tourism assets. Several states are independently advancing their efforts: Kerala's Responsible Tourism Mission has launched guided cycling tours through villages, linking travellers with local artisans and culinary traditions. Similarly, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Sikkim are investing in high-altitude routes, positioning cycling as a key component of their adventure tourism strategies.
