As part of World Wildlife Week 2024, a Cyclothon was organized on Sunday. The event was held in collaboration with cycling clubs from Karimnagar, Nirmal, Mancherial, and Adilabad. Participants cycled a 20 km trail through the buffer zone of a tiger reserve.
The route for the Cyclothon took cyclists through streams, grasslands, and thick forests. The aim of the event was to promote a sustainable lifestyle, encourage cycling, and raise awareness about wildlife conservation.
During the event, Sushma Rao, the Forest Range Officer of Tadlapet, shared her thoughts. She said, “The cycling track through the buffer has signages throughout, providing a unique experience of cycling through the scenic forests, promoting an eco-friendly mode of transport.”
Cycling enthusiasts from the participating clubs praised the tiger reserve’s efforts. They also mentioned that the trail was one of the best they have experienced across the country.
