EXPLORING THE JOURNEY’S HIGHLIGHTS TEA TRAILS OF TRANQUILITY

The scenery is characterized by endless rows of green tea bushes stretching across rolling hills and mountainsides. On the trails through the tea fields around Kurseong, the lively hustle and bustle of India stands in stark contrast to the peaceful nature: "It was quiet and somehow majestic because the plantations are so expansive and the light has something fairytale-like about it - perfect for a flowy and epic ride," recalls Steffi Marth.

MoDrop: Embracing Nature's Palette

The rich and lush color palette of this backdrop is reflected in the MoDrop's color variations: deep red like the evening sun in the sky above Kurseong or dark green like the tea fields swaying in the wind. "I think the MoDrop's high-impact designs are just cool. For the India trip, I chose the white version because it matches the spirituality of the country," says Steffi.

BEYOND BOUNDARIES TRAILBLAZING ON SINGALIA RIDGE

The Singalila Ridge is a mountain range in the Himalayas that stretches along the border between India and Nepal. Located in the Sikkim region of northeastern India, it is known for its breathtaking natural beauty, spectacular views and challenging trekking routes. "Mountain biking up there with the snow-capped Himalayan mountains in the background was just epic," recalls Steffi Marth. "Sleeping and breathing at an altitude of more than 3,500 meters was tough - but it was worth it: I just couldn't get enough of the panorama. This day of our trip is unforgettable for me." 

A challenging downhill awaits on the way back: the trail winds its way downhill over 2,000 meters. Steep and technical sections give way to a dense jungle with muddy and narrow stages. "It was a bit like a computer game," says Steffi Marth.

MoDrop: Seamlessly Transitioning from City Heat to Mountain Peaks

The MoDrop proved to be an indispensable companion on the trail: "It had to cope with the difference in altitude and thus the different temperatures," emphasizes Steffi Marth. Down in the hot and humid cities and on challenging climbs, it provided excellent ventilation. On the sun-drenched mountain peaks and high plateaus, the GoggFit mount was particularly practical: "This meant I always had my sunglasses at hand as soon as the sunlight became too intense," says Steffi Marth.
