The tour comprising of 15 cyclist from Imphal cycled to Keibul Lamjao; and for the next two days they will cycle around the Loktak area.
The flag off event was hosted by Director of Tourism at Imphal Hotel.
Latter on the way, Chairperson of Bishenpur Municipal Council Mr Laishram Lolindro and his staff and members hosted the cyclist. Further at Moirang, a team led by M. Shivaraj, M. Sarat, K.Charanjit and team of Blooming Moirang organized a reception and the cyclist were given an opportunity to water the flowers at ima keithel at Moirang Bazar.
MCC has been participating in the festival for the last three years to drive the message home that cycling tourism is a possibility in the state and that with cycles one can travel either to the hills or in the valley with very little cost and impact.
On 30 November, MCC will again conduct a city tour where participants will be able to visit culturally and historically significant sites in Imphal.
