Mysore and Srirangapatnam Cycle Tours
Cycling is a delightful way for experienced and novice cyclists to gain real insights into this wonderful country and its people.
Our tours are suitable for all ages (youngest so far is age four and eldest seventy-nine) and levels of experience (providing you can ride a bike) . Families have regularly toured Srirangapatnam where we have small cycles, tag-along and have now introduced a cycle seat for toddlers.
Our tours last for over four hours and cover 12-14 kms. They offer an intimate introduction for 2-4 people. Individual tours can also be arranged.
Mysore Heritage Tour
Our original tour is in Mysore city, introducing the heritage of the city, visiting some of its diverse local communities and passing by the institutional buildings created by the Maharajas. These start at our base at Mysore Bed and Breakfast at 7 am and include a guide, cycle and a late breakfast (so might be worth carrying a couple of bananas!)
Srirangapatnam Tour
Our tours of Srirangapatnam focus on the historical fort, the island and include aspects of local culture and religion. They take in both tranquil and sometimes hectic, lovely riverside locations and are usually in the morning. It’s constantly changing but currently is a popular mix of town, village, farm and fields…… and so provides valuable insights, a meandering tour and the opportunity for great conversations.
Srirangapatnam is just 35 mins from the centre of Mysore and one of our trusted friendly fare’s fair auto-rickshaw drivers, can be booked to take you out there.
Why not make it into a full day? After the tour have lunch at the riverside and then go inside the summer palace or temple with the auto rickshaw.
