A really enjoyable start to the day. Shirish is a very nice and informative guide who got us safely to the Wetlands. After a few days in the city it was nice to be able to have a relaxing cycle literally 5 minutes as from the city. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We were looking for something different on our last day in Kolkata after having had our senses assaulted by the busy and chaotic t Human and vehicle traffic that characterises Kolkata Shirish offered us just that chance for an escape into a serene world of lakes, tiny fishing communities right in the heart of Kolkata. All bikes, helmets and gear was provided along with a friendly and informative 3 hour mountain bike tour around a small fraction of the 90 odd Kms of trails thru the lakes that make up the wetlands. There is a bit of street traffic to negotiate before entering the wetlands but a combination of early 6am start and Shirish expertly guiding us made that part entirely comfortable Highly recommend this tour as it’s worth every cent

An amazing experience, set off time is early so you miss the extreme heat of the afternoon. If you are interested in getting a feel for the true Kolkata I would recommend this tour. Shirish was an excellent guide, providing opportunities to fully appreciate the surroundings and detailed knowledge of the wet lands. I would definitely do this again. Thanks Shirish. 🙏

Amazing tour. One of my top experiences in India. You do need to be comfortable cycling but the effort is worth the chance to be close to the wonderful wetlands and the people who live there.
