๐ฒโจ Discovering Old Delhi by Cycle ๐ฒโจ
Taking an eco-friendly bike tour, is one of our favorite things to do when visiting new destinations.
My son and I did just that and we had an amazing experience, cycling through the streets of Old Delhi in the early morning hours with @delhibycycle .
๐ For obvious reasons, that being traffic congestion, these tours normally start very early in the morning.
Be sure to get a good nightโs sleep and be prepared for an early day, itโs worth it!
๐ We were met at the bikes by our guide at that time; Bhupinder.ย A very friendly, outgoing and informative person, who went out of his way to make our tour, as enjoyable and informative as could possibly be.
๐ We couldnโt have asked for a better guide and gentleman, for this type of eco-tour adventure!
For those of you who enjoy history like I do, then this tour is right up your alley, literally!
Your guide will take through some of Old Delhiโs interesting back alleyways. Many of which, you certainly would be hard pressed to find on your own.
๐ Experience the feel of everyday life, as you ๐ด ride along the narrow alleyways passing by; markets, tiny shops and heritage homes in Old Delhi.
๐ซ As the bike tour continued, we made our way to a lovely historic haveli to enjoy an Authentic Indian Breakfast.
