All those participating in the tour gather near the Jal Mahal. A safety brief is given to all and once that is done everyone starts with their ride heading towards the Kanak Valley first. The cycle group then assembles at the base of Nahargarh Hill. You can gather brief information about your cycle gears before you start your ride to the top amidst the mystifying beauty of the place.
