Great tailored tour
Umesh was a great guide for me. He communicated extremely well prior to the tour and sorted it what I wanted to do. Of course the fact that it was just me helped.
I am an experienced cyclist but was not up to biking all the way up to the fort. It’s a grind! Nevertheless we walked the rest. Umesh took me round the back streets of the city with a couple of good food stops. A final highlight was a visit to morning prayer s at the temple.More
Cycling to nahargarh fort
Feb 2022 • Friends
We cycled across the streets of jaipur all way to the top of the nahargarh fort. Umesh is a native of jaipur, understands the significance and importance of all monuments and he’s an inspiring figure. His dedication for fitness and athletics is commendable.More
So much more than just a cycling tour!

Umesh is one gem of a human being! I went in expecting we would get to ride bikes around Jaipur in the morning, but we did so much more!
The amount of knowledge and experience Umesh has simply blew my mind. I wish I am able to gain that much clarity in life, just a class apart person.More
Best experience ever!

We started our trip in Jaipur with the cycle expedition and it was an experience of a lifetime! I would recommend this to everyone who is planning to explore Jaipur. The organisers Umesh and Kushal were great and they also helped us with amazing places to visit and stay for our other trips in Rajasthan.
Umesh was very engaging and a wonderful person to talk to. This trip taught us a lot of things – about the people, culture and history of Jaipur.
I would personally opt for this package again – totally worth it!!More
Absolutely amazing!

Umesh and Khushal are a couple of gems. Had the best experience. Must take up this tour if you’re visiting Jaipur!More
Amazing experience, highly recommended from Germany!
The bike tour was really a great experience. Two guides showed us the best places in Jaipur that we would never have seen on our own tourist explorations. We drank chai and lassi from famous vendors, were guided through the colorful flower market and could enjoy the great view of the pink city from the fort. Consideration was given to all participants and all needs and wishes were met. We thank you most sincerely and would warmly recommend the tours to get to know Jaipur from another side.More
