Get ready as Carvan Trips takes you for an epic heritage cycle ride down the historic lanes of South Mumbai! This city of dreams is usually filled with people and chaos. However, theres silence in the air as the city rests at night. The best time to explore this city is in the wee hours of the night when Mumbai, along with its heritage monuments, lights up with vivid colours and look incredibly beautiful.

We all might have whiz past through these heritage structures at some point, wondered for a second about them, and then probably went on with our busy city lives.However, they reveal a different story as we time travel to the era of Portuguese and the British! The brown washed colonial structures provide a heady mix of lights, beauty, history & nostalgia.

Well start our cycling trip from Colaba towards Gateway of India, explore the nearby structures and then cycle along the numerous heritage sites. On the way, we will stop for interesting stories, fun factsand of course, selfies! Now, we can understand that riding through South Mumbai can make you really, like Reaallly thirstySo how about tanking up all those calories you burn, Guilt Free ;)

And so, we will end our epic ride at a Bar, with a chilled beer, On the House!
