Additional Information
Meet your Team Leader at 7 AM at the Qutub Minar Metro Station parking.
Once we reach Mangar Bani, we enter the village pathway full of flora and fauna that inhabit the Aravalli. We now ride on narrow lanes of villages and come out to the countryside. The fresh air boosts you to continue on dirt tracks between the hills.
Afterwards, we ride to a lake where water caresses our sore feet. En route, we pass through villages taking pride in their own identity and culture.
It is time to head for lunch, where we will be stopping by a local farm practising organic farming. It is time to relax and learn more about organic farming and sustainable living in and around the farms with the locals.
After a hearty lunch, we get in our support vehicle and finish our tour at the final drop point. Bid goodbye to the Aravalli’s, the ancient landform still giving a livelihood to the villages, a glimpse of India’s human and physical geography.

Great Cycling Trip near Delhi - This was a great way to get out of the city and explore some of the countryside around Gurgaon. The bikes were good quality and the overall trip was quite safe. The guides were also helpful and keep things interesting. I'd go back for a return visit for sure!

Great day in the trails - Loved this biking experience. The bikes were great and totally safe when we were on the trails. Was trying out cycling after more than a decade and Abhimanyu and Anil were very clear and patient with their instructions.
The trail and lake views are unique and it is hard to believe such experience is available so close to Gurgaon.

Of hidden lakes and rocky rides - Exploring the countryside with TBT has been one of the most exciting things I’ve done in Delhi-NCR. Highly recommend the overnight stay option when available - camping in the wildness after a day of mountain biking is quite what one needs. Akhilesh is a fantastic team lead - very calm and composed no matter the obstacles (there were a few flat tyres but they managed quite swiftly). Having said that- their bikes are top notch and well maintained.

Perfect for cyclists - It was a wonderful experience going on a bike tour along with the bike tribe team. The team was super friendly and managed everything perfectly. We explored a couple of lakes that are still isolated from civilization. For me it was the perfect weekend getaway.

Experience the most interesting part of India - I have been living and working in Delhi for quite sometime now but never really explored Delhi. Once i saw an ad by the bike tribe and me and my friend booked a tour with them. It was one of my favourite days in Delhi. I booked the Aravalliv tour and it was too much fun. It had a bit of cycling and and a whole lot of exploring. They took us to some hidden lakes and ride through some offroad trails which wasn't difficult but they make sure everyone can ride it with ease.

Cultural extravaganza - I keep coming to Delhi for business travel and have seen all the important tourist destinations. I wanted to do something different and had a day off, one of my colleagues recommended me this tour and I am so happy I did it. It gives travellers a different prospective and you see Indian culture closely. Great tour for someone who likes local interactions. I would recommend it to anyone who can afford a day. I thank Sabby and Akhi who took care of us all and made sure we had the best times. Can be tiring for someone who don’t cycle at all.

Fun day with The Bike Tribe - I couldn't imagine a better day of adventure that too so close to Delhi. The locations on this trip were out of this world and loved the village and countryside. The breakfast was healthy and fresh plus lunch was made from ingredients of the local farm we were eating at. Truly organic food prepared with care. Besides cycling, we had an option to hike and later climb an indoor wall on the trip. So much fun and adventure and a wholesome day.

A getaway from the city life. - Spent the weekend with Bike Tribe. It was quite different and something new to lookout especially if someone is interested in outdoor activities and don’t want to travel much. Hop on their bikes and roam around Aravalli hills. Definitely a must try activity. Also the Bike Tribe Team is great. Great humans and good conversations you can have with them. 🙌🏽
