Ganztägige Nandi Hills Countryside Tour mit dem Fahrrad

I had a very nice time on this bike tour! The countryside was beautiful and peaceful,. My guide, Sunil, was very friendly and passionate. Thanks to him, i made local discoveries along the way. I highly recommend booking a tour with him

Great guide. Pooja was a very knowledgeable and relaxed guide. We visited interesting places and the food was very good. 4/5 five points because it is advertised as a whole day tour but only last shortly past lunch.

Had a really nice time on the tour with my guide, Preetam. He was super friendly and we spoke for ages about loads of different topics - was awesome getting to know him. As for the tour, it felt really nice to get outside of Bangalore and see a bit of the countryside. Nandi Hills were beautiful and cycling around them and going through Nandi Village was just a very fun experience. This trip didn't feel so much of a "grand adventure," as it did a nice day out - which is exactly what I was looking for. The cycling wasn't overly strenuous and the stops in the village and at the temple were both worth the visit. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to do something fun and outside the city but would look elsewhere if you're looking for immaculate sightseeing/breathtaking bits of nature. P.S. if you book directly with Unventured you may be able to save money than by paying through TripAdvisor.

Lohit guided us on a great tour of the Nandi foothills to see a fascinating silkworm farm and thread spinning factory. We also toured a clay tandoori pot maker which was very interesting, as well as an old British train station. The temple we visited was closed for the day but we didn’t mind that so much as the complex was interesting. Lohit was a nice person to get to know. Our main complaint was that Lohit proceeded at a faster pace than we desired as we wanted to take in the sights etc. At one point he was completely out of sight when we needed to stop, which was a bit disconcerting being in an unknown area. He later explained that his intend was just to show us the way and we could proceed at our pace, but that should have been made clear at the outset. As a guide I would expect that his top concern would be the well being of his riders which at times he seemed oblivious to. The bikes were overall in decent shape but the shifting could have been refined a bit. My wife’s bike rubbed in some gears and mine didn’t shift smoothly often requiring multiple clicks to shift gears. We also adjusted our own seat heights which was fine, but I didn’t get the impression that he was a knowledgeable bike mechanic. There is also some conflicting info regarding how long the tour is. Take note that an hour travel time is required to get to the starting point by car and then back again. So overall a fun day with many interesting sites where we learned a lot and saw many new things. Addressing some of the items I noted would make this experience better.

Absolutely exceeded my expectations! I had no idea we would see how locals live their lives. Sunil, who was fabulous, took me to a local Pottery maker- I was able to meet the family too. So wonderful. I saw how silk is made- even saw silk worms. We went to Hindu Temple and I was lucky enough to see a ceremony! The country side is beautiful. Can’t recommend this tour and Sunil enough!

Had a great time exploring together with Sunil! Knowledgeable, very friendly and a great guide!

This was a great trip. It’s about 20km cycling with a hill at the end and lots of rest/places to see in route. The temple is amazing. My guide Sunil was excellent: engaging, friendly and considerate.

What a great way to explore the scenery and living outside of Bangalore, and a well curated trip. Beautiful setting, great weather. We stopped and saw cottage industry silk - from worms to cocoons to thread. We stumbled upon a wedding ceremony at the temple, and got to try pottery making. Opted for an off-road excursion through a village to a remote train station. Some friends had warned me how steep the big Nandi Hill is, but this tour went around, was mostly flat, and very manageable on bike. Midhu is a Rock Star guide - so knowledgeable and passionate about the history, the people, the nature. And a gifted storyteller! The food was great too. Highly recommend!

This was a great experience: The guide was knowledgeable about the area and the culture, the food and facilities were excellent, the country side was beautiful. But the listing should definitely have more information about the biking route. At the very least, as a cycling tour, you should be able to present the following information beforehand: recommended attire, make and model of the bikes used, overall distance covered, elevation, types of surfaces, and whether or not there will be cars. Additionally, the guide should have basic bike tools in their pack. We had a support car, which was great, but minor problems like tire punctures should be solvable without having to wait for rescue.

Best parts of the trip were learning from Ajith about the sites we visited and also the biking part as good exercise. I would have liked confirming with local workers that the silk making sites are operational as they were both empty when we went.
