Very good - It was a very good experience, Anurag and Yash made the trip very informative. They took us to unexplored and not the usual tourist spots. Both of them are very knowledgable about the local flora and fauna. The passion they have to nature can be seen in the way they talk.

Explore countryside of Havelock and catch on some fishing experience - This cycling tour takes you through an offbeat path in Havelock. It is a wonderful opportunity to explore the unseen Havelock and it's countryside. The guide will walk you through the bitter sweet history of farming and everyday life of locals. The path is relatively easy to cycle and hence suitable for anyone, including kids. There is also a surprise element of fishing experience during the trail. Overall it was a lovely experience I had and I am glad to have done it.

A must ride - Went for a cycling tour with Aditya and Chahat from the Habitat institute. It was such a fun ride with so much information to absorb about the life in the Andaman’s. Going to be back for the Marine trail with them because I know they give their 100% in making it all memorable

Back on Wheels - What fun it was -getting on to a cycle after so many years. Our guide Husain comes across as a passionate Naturalist. the stop at the mangrove was the most interesting -to understand about the trees that grow there.

Off the beaten track - OK, so I caught a fish on my first cast (directly returned) so that was bound to leave me (less so my wife) with a warm feeling about the tour but this really is an easy way to get off the beaten track in Havelock & learn more about real island life. The cycling is not taxing, largely flat & mostly away from traffic and we were accompanied by guides who were passionate about the local ecosystem and happy to share their deep knowledge of the islands flaura & fauna.

Not just cycling , it was a proper educational and interesting tour of cycling + trek - When in Havelock , you least expect a guided cycling tour to be on top of your most cherished experience. Well , before the actual tour we also had similar expectations. But boy , when the tour starts , slowly you start realizing that what this experience is turning out to be. Anurag with his wealth of knowledge of the plants and culture of the locals , will take you on bicycle tour , with frequent stops in between whenever he spots something interesting to show and share its background . Within few minutes and a couple of stops , he leads you into a village forest area , where you find yourself cycling in a narrow mud road with trees and greenery on both sides. Going deep inside , we parked our bicycles and started a short trek through a small dense jungle which gave a feel of the rain forests of amazon. To the other end , was the backwaters having mangroves trees around with an abandoned boat, Just when you start thinking at this point that what can be better than this , he leads you back on to your cycles to a narrow path in the sparsely populated village homes to a pond where he will teach how to catch a fish using the traditional method followed by the locals. He has a fishing rod (made of wood) with the hook just like the locals do ready for you to try and catch a fish. You need to be really agile and alert since the fishes are too fast and smart to get trapped. Throughout the tour , he will explain you the importance of all the trees , plants with reasons where you are able to understand the role assigned by nature to the smallest of root, leaves or even a twig. You will start appreciating and respecting nature more after this tour.

Very informative trip - Anurag was very friendly, informative and spoke perfect English. Cycling off the main road meant you had a great taste of local life. Definitely accessible to all as we didn't cycle too far.

Worth a try😄 - It was good to learn about the history and what people do on this island.During our visit it was raining. So a small part of the tour the roads were mucky. Other than that the tour guide was very knowledgeable and knew a lot about the island. It’s for about 2 hrs and it’s a combination of both cycling and walking so it’s not very hectic.
