The Nahargarh Hill Amidst the Aravalli Range
Out of all the historical places to See in Jaipur, Nahargarh may not be on top due to its accessibility. But it is the most happening and beautiful place in Jaipur. The best sunset and sunrise point of Jaipur, and certainly a common point of interest for every locality in Jaipur.
Above all, the Nahargarh fort which is at a height of above 700 feet from sea level provides a panoramic view of the city and the Aravalli forests. Our Bike tour to the Nahargarh fort through the Aravalli forests is a very challenging excursion
The Cobbled Climb
This used to be the pathway for elephants and Horses in those days, it is a strenuous and challenging climb to the top, at the same time the view is equally rewarding as we reach the top of the town. we have the option to park the bikes at the foothill of Nahargarh and hike to the top.
Charan Mandir
As we approach closer Nahargarh fort we take a short break at Charan Mandir ( a temple dedicated to Lord Krishna). Moreover one can easily get the best panoramic view of Jaipur city in front and The dense Jungle of Nahargarh Biological Park at the foothill of The Aravalli Mountains.

Certainly, the ride is for nature lovers, birding enthusiasts and fitness junkies. Most importantly those who are looking for Adventure things to do in Jaipur. In addition, get ready for an adrenaline rush and climb the steep Nahargarh hill.
On reaching the peak, we get a majestic view of the beautiful Man Sagar Lake (Jal Mahal).

Great way to experience Jaipur
Sept 2023 • Couples
Our guide for the day was Archet. The bikes and helmets were in good repair. They took a moment to orient us and make sure that the bikes were adjusted well for us. We did a few fun activities in the city, including feeding some of the cows which wander the city. Archet let us decide whether we wanted to just bike around the city, or whether we wanted to make the ride up to Nahargarh Fort. We chose the fort. Be aware that this is an extremely steep ride. All three of us in our group ended up pushing our bikes a good portion of the way. However, arriving at the fort was worth the considerable effort to get there.More
Great experience with an architect

When the wells get dry, then only we understand the worth of water
What a stupendous tour it was.
We were lucky enough to have an Architect as a tour leader who is also a great storyteller
I highly recommend booking this tour if you enjoy history, architecture, culture, yoga and most importantly Adventure then go on..More
One of my all time favorite tours
Mar 2023
Not only was this the best tour I did in India, it was one of the best tours I’ve done on all of my travels. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable and open to any questions. The sunrise from Nahargarh fort weren’t to be seen due to cloudy sky, but WELL worth the hike up anyway. Cycling through the empty streets of Jaipur made me feel so much at home, in my own element in a foreign place. It was such an interesting and unique way to see the city!!!! Would totally recommend.More

An amazing ride around Jaipur. Our guides were brilliant and we had lots of stops to see markets, buildings, parks, ceremonies, people etc.. would highly recommend.More
Thrilling ride with amazing views! Highlight of our trip in Jaipur!
After our morning cycle with Le Tour de India seeing Jaipur Old City , we couldn’t get enough! We opted to continue on to the fort and it was the highlight of our trip! It was a challenging ride but our guide Umesh was there every step of the way encouraging. The views were absolutely incredible and breathtaking. Once you reach the climb it is then a thrilling downhill ride back and you get to see even more sights. We had two guides, Umesh who lead the way but also a legend whose name I cannot spell (sorry) who kept me safe at the back and gave me a push when I needed it. Honestly do not have second thoughts to book this tour, or any of the others (we did three!).More
Exploring Jaipur by bicycle, energetic guides!
Very nice way of exploring Jaipur, getting to know the city in a different way. Nice to meet some locals as well, you’ll also visit known places for local food and drinks. The guides are very energetic, they greet people on the street and get greetings in return. Can definitely recommend!More
