Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the capital and enjoy some fun exercise!
New Delhi’s wide flat streets and magnificent monuments make it the ideal area for a bicycle ride. Two wheels allow us to slowly explore the small side lanes of New Delhi as well as the city’s more spread out highlights all in one day.
On this tour we’ll visit the must see New Delhi sights such as India Gate, Lodhi Gardens, and President’s Palace. But we’ll also introduce you to some hidden gems such as Agrasen Ki Boali (an ancient step well).
Towards the end of the tour, once we’ve worked up a good appetite, we’ll stop for a South Indian breakfast of masala dosa and idli along with chai or coffee
We start early to avoid traffic and the heat of the day.
This 42 meter arch was built to honour the Indian and British Soldiers killed along the Northwest border during World War I and Afghan Wars in 1919.
Wander through this spectacular 90 acre garden and discover tombs, mosques and bridges built during the 15th century Sayyid and Lodhi periods.
See where the president lives and in the surrounding Secretariat buildings and Parliament House, where the country is run. Unfortunately you’re not allowed inside but the buildings sit at the top of a small hill and the view overlooking Rajpath (the King’s Way) and India Gate in the distance is stunning.
Hop off your bicycles and walk down this ancient step well. Rumoured to have been built in 10th century and rebuilt in the 14th century, this unique well has 103 steps and is 60 metres long.
Towards the end of the tour, enjoy a South Indian breakfast of masala dosa and idli along with tea or coffee.
