Experiencing the Pink City

MUST DO!
Nov 2022 • Friends
This tour is an absolute can’t miss when visiting Jaipur! Of all the things I did on a trip traveling throughout Dubai and India, this was the most memorable and most fun without a doubt. Although this is advertised as a bike ride to the Nahargarh fort, it’s truly much more special than that. After visiting the fort, this tour continues on and takes you on an intimate tour through Jaipur with many memorable stops and experiences that a foreigner otherwise likely would not experience. Our guide Kush was incredible. I loved having chai with him on rooftops, eating our way through the city, performing morning rituals at the temple, and pedaling throughout the city with a pro.More
Jaipur bike tour
We started the bike tour at 5.30am with Umesh due to the Diwali festivals in the town. I was great to ride in the city with no traffic jams and watch it wake up. We saw the sunrise at the fort, fed the local cows, stopped at local street food places (chai tea, lassi, etc), went to Hindu prayer service, biked to the the Albert Hall. We recommend this tour with Umesh to see the town waking up and get a very good inside.More
The highlight of my time in Jaipur
Apr 2022
I was lucky to be the only person in my tour group. After some issues with transport on my end I arrived 20 minutes late – Umesh was understanding and we cracked on with the tour.
Our route started with the cycle/walk up to Nahargarh Fort which features a fantastic view of the sunrise over Jaipur. Umesh adjusted our pace to suit my (average) fitness level but it was clear that he could easily go faster for more in-shape explorers. After a break at the top to take in the view and discuss the history of the city, we made our way down for a tasty street food breakfast (pakoras, jalebi, namkeen and lassi) which was included in the tour price.More
Awesome way to enjoy Jaipur city!
Mar 2022 • Family
Early morning cycle tour allows you to enjoy Jaipur city in a unique way! The city looks completely different without the traffic. Riding/walking up the steep streets of Nahargarh fort allows you to get a great morning view of the pink city.
We had several kids (ages 4-5) and they arranged for an e-rickshaw for them to travel with us. Bhagwan bhai took excellent care of our kids while we were biking through the city. Umesh is an amazing person and an excellent guide. He enlightened us with the history and culture of the city and we even had several philosophical discussions along the way! We started the morning by feeding cows and made several food stops along the way to energize us through our the trip. My favorite were the hot rajasthani kachori’s and hot jalebi’s. I highly recommend this tour! It’s worth waking up early for this tour.More
Great cycling tour, would definitely recommend
Mar 2022 • Solo
A great way to see the city without the Jaipur traffic getting in the way. The early morning cycle tour was made special by the knowledgable and friendly guide Umesh. Stopping for chai, somosa’s, jalebi bai and lassai, this tour incorporates everything. Exercise, history, architecture, street food and fresh air. We walked/cycled to the top of Nahargarh Fort to get a great morning view of the city that can’t be reached by car. Would definitely recommend this tour! It’s worth the early morning start to see the sunrise in the pink city.More
