About this experience

Sleeping bodies dot the pathways, devotees perform their morning puja (prayer), and early birds head out for a jog before the heat of the day arrives. This is Mumbai as you have never seen it before: calm and peaceful.
While the rest of the city is only just beginning to wake up, we take advantage of the empty streets and cool air to explore South Mumbai by cycle. As we wind our way through the back lanes, we’ll visit must-see Mumbai sights like the Gateway of India and CSMT Station as well as some hidden gems like Sassoon Dock and Bombay Panjrapole (cow sanctuary).
At the end of the tour, we’ll stop for a well-deserved South Indian breakfast of dosa, idli, upma, and much more.

Drawing on Hindu and Islamic architectural styles, the Gateway of India sits on the waterfront of southern Mumbai, and since 1924 was the first thing visitors to the city would see when arriving by boat.

Formerly known as Victoria Terminus, CST is one of the most beautiful railway stations in India.

Stop 3

One of the city’s largest wholesale fruit, vegetable, and meat market— and the first building in India to get electricity!

Visit a local cow shelter where you have the chance to stock up on good karma by feeding the resident cows.

This is the historical Hindu temple that Mumbai was named after! We’ll take a break from our bikes and have a look inside.
