Beautiful landscapes, fascinating towns, stunning beaches and superb food, southern India is an excellent place to explore by bike. This trip offers the chance to cycle through the highlights, from the cool heights of the Western Ghats, where sanctuaries hide monkeys, elephants and tigers, to the quiet backwaters of Kerala, where Hinduism has produced elaborately decorated temples, and colourful villages, where rural life has changed little for centuries. The final coastal ride to Varkala rewards us with time to relax on the beach and reflect on an unforgettable experience.
