A great new trip from Peter Bluck who created the Kerala and Sri Lankan trips. It was the first time the trip had been run so there will be some tweaking for future trips but its another winner!

This was a most fabulous trip - a fantastic mix of cycling and sampling local culture. We had a really good guide Shibu and his team. We loved Kerala and the mix of experiences on this trip. We liked the level which was leisurely /moderate - ideal in such a hot country we wish there were more trips available at this level. We loved the food and have had withdrawal cravings on return to the UK from such delicious fare! We had a great group of people on this tour they also helped to make it a brilliant experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed this cycling tour of a tiny gem of India called Kerala. We saw Indians at work and were humbled by their hard work and joyful manner. The traffic was a bit crazy, but we felt so safe with the support of our driver and mechanics. Glorious hills and seascape. We had time for rest, swimming and shopping too. Thank you. It was fabulous

Cycling Kerala's Backroads was an amazing experience all around. Challenging cycling, delicious food, great guides, and countless interactions with locals. The warmth and fun of the people was the best. Solid mix of doable distances, with cultural experiences. Cooking at the Barbeque in Mannar was a wonderful experience.
Shibu and Hareesh were excellent guides for our ride. This was our third tour with this company. All have been outstanding experiences. Safety, comfort, and communication have all been well managed. These two had great senses humor and were impressed with our ability to move across the terrain as efficiently as we did. We all had a renewing ride in Kerala. Charmed by the many people we met. Led by two great guides. Thanks to Shibu and Hareesh.

In 11 days, cycle across India from the Bay of Bengal to the Arabian Sea, pass through millennia of history, and watch the scenery change from shimmering sand to forested mountains, to tropical backwaters before your eyes. Not only is this bike tour an impressive achievement, but it's also a fascinating cycling holiday through one of India's most colourful cultural regions. Brimming with history, culture, cuisine, scenery, and challenge, this South India odyssey is a story-book ride for road cyclists.
Your bicycle tour of India begins in bustling Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu. Cycle south along the Bay of Bengal, steeped in layers of history from prehistory to colonial times, to Puducherry. Head for inner Tamil Nadu, an arid state fed by vast reservoirs, and experience the pace of South Indian life and culture as you ride through quaint farming villages and small towns adorned with ornate temples. Stop in ancient Madurai for a rest day, walk its streets and take in its history and spiritual traditions. Press on to the Western Ghat mountain range, where tough climbs are rewarded with cool mountain air and panoramic views of tea and spice country. Descend into the famously lush tropical backwaters of Kerala and its many houseboats, fishing villages, and abundant wildlife, before reaching the shores of the Arabian Sea.
Join us on this rich and colourful road bike adventure across India!

This cycling exploration of Kerala goes beyond buildings and monuments, past temples and tombs, to the living and breathing heritage of South India. In 7 days full of on and off-bike adventures, experience the quintessential pace of South Indian life: the bustle of a big city, the lively local villages, fantastic food and fascinating culture, while finding plenty of time to unwind in the peace and tranquility of serene backwaters and tropical forests.
Beginning in Kochi, your tour whisks you away to the lush Keralan countryside. Like traveling back in time, cycle through centuries-old farmsteads along backwaters to some of Kerala’s most breathtaking scenery. Learn about the connection the locals maintain to their environment, as you taste the fruits of their farms, translated into intensely flavored dishes and diverse cuisine.
Bear witness to the traditional art forms originating in Kerala thousands of years ago, from elaborate dance and theater, to colorful temple paintings, to intricate sari weaving. Experience the living heritage of Kerala as it still exists today in the flavors of authentic cuisine, the song and dance still performed, the temple rituals still practiced. This is true, off-the-beaten track Kerala. Away from the crowds and up close to the real culture, people, and rituals of this fascinating Indian province.
