Fantastic experience! Must be lived again!
I Just randomly scrolled through ‘things to do in Jaipur’ when I stumbled upon this Le Tour De India. And not having made any prior bookings before leaving from Delhi…I reached and I was adviced against it to take on this ‘adventurous tour.’ I’m glad I didn’t take their advice. Because it was one of the most fantastic experiences I’ve had in a while. More
Morning tour to Nahargarh Fort
Getting up early in the morning was all worth it! We started our tour with Umesh from the Water Temple in Jaipur. The bikes were very good and helmets were there for safety. We started the tour uphill with some stops on the way to enjoy the view of Jaipur by sunrise. More
Just what we wanted!
We were 4 people who had a day together in Jaipur and opted for this bike trip to Nahargarh fort. None of us had cycled in years but all our doubts were cleared when we met our guide Umesh- he is professional, friendly and really knows what he’s doing. We could easily connect with him and that made for a great start. More
Challenging ride to Nahargarh Fort
I went for the Nahargarh Fort cycle ride that Le Tour organized. They organized the tour for me inspite of being a solo traveller, that proves their authenticity. Umesh was the guide, his passion for cycling and outdoor activities really made the tour that much better. Nahargarh fort is a challenging ride, so anyone doing this should be prepared, but it was well paced. Luckily we had good weather! Source
