Heritage Cycle Tour: Pedal through Mumbai's history

Tour Details:

The southern precinct of Mumbai is a charm. Colonial buildings, art deco structures, open maidans, juxtaposed with modern architecture. The same beauty is amplified early in the morning, when there is stillness and the city streets are devoid of the hustle-bustle.

Now imagine yourself cycling through the heart of Mumbai at this golden hour(s), discovering centuries old-history and hearing lesser known secrets that lay in stone. You’d be riding past Colaba Causeway, Ballard Estate precinct, Fort Precinct, Flora Fountain, Oval Maidan, Horniman Circle Precinct, VT precinct, among others, and hearing the rich history this city has on offer.

As you’re marvelling at these masterpieces and hearing nuggets from our walk leader (or should we say, bike leader), you’ll find yourself on Marine Drive, the art deco haven of Mumbai. As a Mumbaikar or for that matter, anyone coming to this city, few places take your breath like the Queen’s Necklace. While you’re still getting over the beautiful, sun-kissed morning sky (We won't blame you), we’ll regale you with stories of cricket, Bollywood (One of the biggest Bollywood actresses had a home there) and the unknown story of one of Mumbai’s most controversial reclamation projects that gave birth to this promenade, among other interesting tales.

Losing some calories while listening to some fun history, culture, pop-culture Mumbai stories: we say it’s a win-win. So sign up and pedal through centuries of history with us.
