Detailed itinerary

We begin just outside the old city in Fateh Tibba - once a deserted settlement that were the parade grounds for the Jaipur Royal Army now an uppercrust of the many burgeoning suburbs of modern Jaipur. Yet Adarsh Nagar (New Name) has some historical architecture sidelined, we visit one such cemetery lost in time.

Our bike trip comes to a halt as you hop-off your bikes for a while and head into the farmer's market behind the market for a short walk. Later, be a part of the morning prayer ceremony and experience the culture and devotion from the point of view of a Jaipur local.

The morning vibe in the pink city is awe inspiring not just to the millions of tourists that flock its forts and palaces. But the mundane tourist trail might be a setback for the wandering one “The Real Traveller” From the Art Decor at MI Road, the indo saracenic structures of Walled City to the neo-gothic building from the British Era. Jaipur inspired some of the world's most notable artists in every era, which inspired them all to create such masterpieces.
“It's not in the air, it just might be The Food” in Jaipur there is a delicacy for every occasion. In this short cycling trip we sample food at Jaipur’s most authentic food joints. We also take photo breaks at some of the most picturesque places in Jaipur.
