Kerala is an excellent place to explore by bike; a true paradise with an idyllic coastline, tranquil backwaters, colourful temples and old stone churches. It’s not surprising it is often called God’s own country. Offering a gentler experience than the often-frenetic north, Kerala is great for a first-time bike trip or your first visit to India. From the old spice port of Cochin to the laid-back beach town of Varkala, we gently cycle through beautiful landscapes, fascinating towns and colourful fishing villages, sampling superb south Indian cuisine along the way. A night in a village homestay provides a unique insight into the warm Keralan hospitality, and we cruise the Kerala backwaters on a traditional houseboat before relaxing on the sweeping beaches of Varkala.
