Amazing Hike and Yoga with Harsh and Shubham in Jaipur, India

We had an incredible time hiking through the Nahargarah Biological Park with Harsh and Shubham. They were extremely attentive to our needs and flexible and kind when we were late and slow walking due to lack of experience. The views were unlike anything I have seen our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the land and customs he told us about the native wildlife and showed us spots like leopard point. We walked up with local cows and two cute dogs that assisted us on our hike. We first visited a rural Hindu temple deep into the park where a local Hindu leader lead a puja arti with us and we prayed and enjoyed a delicious chai. Harsh our guide explained so much about the traditions, beliefs and customs in Hinduism and how everything has a meaning and reason behind how they practice their faith. We were honored to learn so much and get to know both Harsh and Shubham. Shubham had a breakfast, tea, cookies, and the yoga site ready for us he was so helpful and thoughtful. Harsh was amazing from the extensive knowledge of the land where he showed us local fauna and told us the medicinal uses and to leading us in a yoga practice that was respectful and authentic to life, he taught us about the Vedas and the different vibrations and meditation techniques and how they use conch shells as part of their practice. As a western person who practices yoga in the states this was a fantastic experience it brought a new intention to the practice, one that is true and respectful. In the US we do yoga as an exercise and way to feel good. Harsh showed us that yoga is a part of life that should be done throughout the day and as a spiritual practice, more for the mind to be focused and strong as well as in tune and helpful to our bodies. This was an authentic experience that wasn’t morphed into a western sell it was a beautiful acknowledgment to spiritual practices. It wasn’t a sell at all it was a sharing of culture. Harsh showed us the temple his family built over 800 years ago and that his family have been Hindu priests for generations and him himself is and astrologist and has extensive knowledge. We were short on time but would have loved to learn more and visit Harsh and Shubham again. It is my favorite excursion on our trip so far where we felt so connected to the culture, land and people as appreciative and a new level of understanding of Jaipur.

Very good

The guide Is eccellent...compliments..we made a tour around the city e he told US a lot of things...we couldn't spent three hours in a Better mode.

It's a must!

Best cycle tour, webhad so much fun and saw so much. Our guide was super friendly and made the whole experience even better. The place's they take you are great and I don't think you would see if on your own. Even stopping for food and drinks which was great . Highly recommended

Great Biking Tour!

Excellent! Thank you Umesh Gautam Best Bicycle tour skipper in the world! very, very recommended experience, Silvia&family

Fabulous Tour

As a party of 4 women, ( aged 47 - 63 ) we loved everything about this tour. It wasn’t a ‘regular’ cycling tour but one where we were shown places that the locals frequented rather than tourist traps and also were able to participate in laughing yoga and a Krishna ceremony at a temple which we would never have thought about doing on our own, or been able to find. The large fruit and flower market ( 6.30am tour) was a highlight as well. The morning tour would be the best as there was limited traffic. We highly rate it because of its authenticity and Kush’s happy, upbeat and knowledgeable disposition who loved his city. There were 2 other guys with him and so we felt safe as they guided us through the lanes and traffic. Highly recommend. Debbie .. Australia

Great Biking Tour!

Myself, my wife and my children (15 and 13 years) did this bicycle tour one morning during a recent visit to Jaipur. The equipment was outstanding and our guide Umesh was excellent. He was patient and very knowledgable. The biking included some road biking and off-road biking as well. We started on the outskirts of Jaipur and biked through some villages. We stopped and had tea at a local villagers house and even stopped at farm to observe carrot harvesting (and even taste a few carrots fresh out of the ground). It was an amazing way to see the countryside of India. Umesh was great with the kids and was quite nimble to adjust the tour as it progressed to fit our needs. I would highly recommend this company to anybody looking for a more active, and different way to experience Rajasthan!

Fantastic way to better understand a tiny bit more of Rajasthani rural life

We opted for the village cycling tour, a whole day activity which starts on the edge of the city. Picked up from our hotel at 6am, we drove around half an hour to the west and started on our ride. Umesh patiently and knowledgeably explained everything to us as we trundled through various villages - we stopped at a 'Cow Rescue Centre', a sanctuary for non-productive or hurt cows, where we pitched in to some of the daily tasks of the staff, as well as being offered delicious chai and sweetened yoghurt. We carried on for around a total of 60km cycling, stopping at homes, farms, factories and learning a great amount about all range of topics to do with how people live in the villages. As well as stopping for lunch (at a very nice former palace on top of a Peshewar, a small lake-side village some 100km west of Jaipur), we were also provided with plentiful water and snacks along the way. We also had the chance to walk around Peshewar, being invited (very much spontaneously and with a very warm and welcoming spirit) into people's homes to see them make everything from mustard oil to roti pots, as well as even participating in some of the dancing that the women from the village were doing to pass time. All in all, a very, very recommended experience, certainly made by Umesh's great sense of adventure, wealth of experience and stories, as well as his responsibility. Thanks also to Kushal, who we didn't meet, but so professionally arranged the experience for us. Hoping to come back again to explore more of the country with you!

Plongée au cœur de Jaipur qui s’éveille

Une découverte authentique de Jaipur au travers d’une promenade à velo de 3h et 12km. Le parcours emprunte quelques ruelles et avenues plus passantes, sous la protection bienveillante des accompagnateurs. On découvre ainsi une haveli, le marché des fleurs et des légumes, un temple hindou lors de la prière du matin et on goûte au thé, lassi et autres spécialités locales. Une excellente façon de plonger dans le quotidien des habitants de Jaipur.
