Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Anuvrat Marg Opposite Qutub Minar Metro Station, New Delhi 110030 India

Mehrauli Archaeological Park is situated in Delhi, just beside the Qutub Complex (historically Mehrauli was the first of the eight cities of Delhi). Spanning an area of more than 200 acres, the site displays the rich heritage of India, starting from the Pre-Islamic to the Colonial phase. Mehrauli Archaeological Park accounts for several historically significant monuments, including the remains of the first city of Delhi, the capital of the Tomar rulers in the 11th century.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

Pass By: Qutub Minar, Qutb Minar, Mehrauli, New Delhi 110030 India

The Qutub Minar is a minaret and "victory tower" that forms part of the Qutb complex, which lies at the site of Delhi’s oldest fortified city, Lal Kot, founded by the Tomar Rajputs. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the Mehrauli area of South Delhi. It is one of the most visited tourist spots in the city, mostly built between 1199 and 1220. Entry to the monument is not included in the tour but if you have extra time we can include it in your itinerary with additional charges.

Stop At: Sanjay Van, New Delhi 110016 India

Sanjay Van is a city forest area which is located in South Delhi near Vasant Kunj. It is a densely wooded forest and is home to plenty of birds, making it a haven for nature lovers. A long trail to Qila Lal Kot in Sanjay Van is desolate and abound with keeker trees and shrubs on the sideways. Known as the first Red Fort, the 11th century Lal Kot with a six feet high fortification wall, was built in 1060 AD by Rajput ruler Anangpal Tomar whose ancestors had settled in the Aravalli Hills. Today, nature enthusiasts cycle along the six kilometre track of the south Delhi ridge to take a break from the busy city life.

Had a wonderful time exploring Delhi's lost city on a bike in the morning. Highly recommend this tour to everyone passing through the city.

We booked private Hidden Jewels tour and it has to be hands down one of the best tour experiences we have had in Delhi. We covered different hidden historical sites that were accompanied with storytelling. The tour was far more enriching than visiting the famous sites surrounded by hordes of people. Since we started early morning we had all sites to ourselves. Both Abhi and Anil were excellent tour leaders. Right from the time of enquiring till end of tour everything was top class. Cannot recommend them enough. The best outfit in India.

The whole cycling tour was a lot of fun and a great way to seek respite from your daily city routine. I found The Bike Tribe on Instagram and really appreciate their efforts to put this tour together. The meet up point was hassle-free and easy to locate. Sabyasachi, our tour guide and the founder of TBT, was extremely patient, cooperative and friendly throughout the journey, along with his other team members. Everything was nicely planned and well executed, including the bikes which were top quality. Do give them a shot if you want to see the natural beauty of Delhi with a hint of its archaeological history.

I personally experienced a real treat going with the Bike Tribe. I'm not much of a cyclist but I found the ride to be very easy. What's helpful is when you're about to go uphill or downhill, they inform you when you to change gears. Now for the adventuring part, I got to see soooo many historical monuments as far back as the Mughals! I'm a history nerd so learning about stuff like this peeks my interests. Our tour leaders were very well informed on the sites too. They do provide snacks and water on the journey but you will have to bring your own bottle. Waking up early is rough but I'm glad we did it because it wasn't that chaotic cycling around and we got to see some wildlife along the way. If you want an escape from city life and get out in nature for a few hours, then this is your trip.
