I made my game using libgdx which is a cross-platform framework which supports desktop, Android and html5 (using Google Web Toolkit). What could be a possible route to port my game to iOS?

There's been some "offical" discussion about this on the Libgdx page. In short, it's not possible yet to do a direct conversion using Libgdx. So basically, I believe your options at this point are to do a re-write in Objective C or (perhaps more simply) use Avian with your existing code. Either way you're likely to have a good deal of work ahead of you. |

Perhaps you could port to GWT and then use something like GWT on PhoneGap to get the app into iOS. (Hmm... I'm not sure if the GWT on PhoneGap link above is for running GWT on PhoneGap, or for porting PhoneGap apps to GWT?) I have no experience with either of these steps, so I can't say what wouldn't work. But like a game of "telephone" I suspect each step will degrade the experience slightly, so the result may not be worthwhile. |

I think there is an iOS backend for libgdx now but it requires Mono Touch... |

If your game is in HTML5, you can port it with PhoneGap. |

The creator of libGDX, Mario Zechner, himself says in the following blog post that libGDX games require a MonoTouch license for running games written in libGDX to run on iOS! See First libGDX game on iOS and here are some, Screenshots of libGDX iOS Demos. Hope this helps :) |
