Bring a refillable water bottle
Two bottles are provided but temperatures rise quickly; a refillable bottle saves money and reduces plastic use.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
Streets in Old Delhi are uneven and may be dusty or wet—supportive shoes make cycling and walking more comfortable.
Stay visible and alert in traffic
Urban cycling involves navigating narrow lanes and occasional vehicles; keep to the group and follow your guide’s signals.
Dress respectfully
Wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when visiting religious sites; this helps avoid delays and shows cultural respect.
Helmet (provided but bring if you prefer your own)
Protects during city cycling; a personal helmet ensures a familiar fit.
Closed-toe walking shoes
Useful for both cycling and the market walking segments on cobbled or uneven surfaces.
Refillable water bottle
Keeps you hydrated between the two supplied bottles, especially in hot months.
