Start early
Begin at first light to avoid traffic through villages and to give time for palace visits and a relaxed pace.
Carry a repair kit
Bring a spare tube, CO2 or pump, and tire levers—roads are quiet but mechanicals will end the day early.
Hydrate strategically
Use a 1–2 L hydration pack or two bottles and refill at village shops; heat can spike quickly on open plains.
Pace for distance
Set a sustainable tempo—100 km is flat but demands steady power; choose the shorter option if you’re unsure.
Road bike (or provided road bike)
Efficient tires and geometry make long distances manageable; the operator can provide one if needed.
Helmet
Protective and often required—choose a well-ventilated model for summer rides.
Hydration pack or 2 bottles (1–2 L)
Keeps fluids accessible across long, exposed stretches between villages.
summer
Basic repair kit (spare tube, pump/CO2, multitool)
