Cycling in Northern India – 1995

Meerut – Delhi

The remaining kilometers to Delhi were easy on a wide and well maintained road. In Arakashan Road, lots of budget middle-class hotels here, we found a cool room at the quiet side of the hotel. Of course for a discounted price.

Delhi – back home!

It was a Sunday when we were cycling to the airport to return to the Netherlands. Delhi’s Sunday morning traffic was only a fraction of what it is on a weekday. Plenty of time to stop at the India Gate and Mamayuns Tomb, the predecessor of the Taj Mahal.

At the end of the day we rode the last mile to the airport. A last holy cow was blocking the road before we finally pushed our bikes into the departure hall. As if it was saying: please stay…

India Goodbye!
