Detailed Description

About the Activity

Have you ever seen India's most rushing metropolis before it wakes up? Join us on this eco-friendly bicycle tour of the city, in the calm and cool weather of the early morning. This is Mumbai as you have never seen it. Sleeping bodies dot the pathways that so many rush past during the day.

Some devotees come out and perform puja, and others jog or do yoga before the heat of the day arrives. Mumbai is an entirely different place before the day starts: serene and peaceful, with light and mist spreading through the sky and promising another opportunity to every person in the city.

Come and see for yourself, and enjoy a little exercise!

SAFETY CONCERNS

We start the tour early before the roads get crowded. We avoid the major roads and use the inner streets wherever possible

Bicycle helmets are available on request

There is a second tour guide who cycles at the back of the group

LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY

The tour is very easy riding; the terrain is very flat, we go at a slow pace and we stop regularly to see the sights on the tour and to listen to the guide.

HIGHLIGHTS

CST STATION

See the facade of one of the busiest railway stations in the country, and the historical site of the terrorist attacks in November 2008. The award-winning movie Slumdog Millionaire was also shot here!

SASSOON DOCK

Built by David Sassoon, this dock is the main fish loading and trading center in South Mumbai. The people working in this community are Kolis - the original inhibitants of Mumbai city.

MUMBADEVI TEMPLE
This is the historical Hindu temple after which 'Mumbai' city was named. Here, one can receive 'prasad,' blessings from Hindu priests.

MARINE DRIVE

Cycle on the 3km long walkway along the coast of Arabian sea. It's a popular in the evenings, for the beautiful view and the amazing snacks. However, a trip along Marine Drive in the morning is a mysterious, sleepy view out over the ocean. Enjoy the peace and beauty of this view!
