Morning light strips the haze from the Yamuna and the first pedals click onto packed earth as the city noise falls behind. This bike tour steers away from the Taj Mahal’s main plaza and into a quieter ring of lanes, ghats and farmland where the monument appears in the distance like a private secret. Riders move at a human pace: inhaling fields of mustard and wheat, passing women performing morning puja at courtyard wells, and greeting children on the way to school.
