Overview

Discovering Kerala by bike allows for an extremely immersive experience with minimal disruption to the peaceful backwaters, riverside villages and timeless tea and coffee estates often without another soul in sight. This region of southwest India has become synonymous with laid back days and verdant natural beauty and there’s just something in the air that adds a touch of spice to an already relaxing ambience. This two week tour takes you to the places that tourist boats can only dream of with an authentic cultural back story running concurrently with cycling average daily distances of 40kms for eight days. A well balanced itinerary lets you get the best out of Kerala by bike, afloat and on two feet with paths through paddy fields, pine forests and pastures providing ample excuses to soak up the scenery as you enjoy the ride. From the Salim Ali Bird Sanctuary and the Munnar tea estates to guided nature walks in the Periyar Tiger Reserve, this cycling tour is as much about Kerala’s countryside as it is about the exercise with waterfalls, canoes rides and delicious Keralan curries always adding to the allure. As you’ll also be given the chance to cycle off road and experience some high altitude tracks there’s plenty to get the blood pumping although a relaxing ride on a luxury rice barge is all you need to kick back in Kerala after warm sunny days spent in the saddle.
