Tours and Trip Packages to Varkala in September 2024

“A trip full of vibrant colours, wonderful food, fascinating culture, crazy drivers, warm and welcoming locals and great countryside. We booked this holiday because we wanted a journey with maximum cycling and minimal vehicle transfers en route. This trip is exactly that, touring through three provinces with a well balanced programme of activities and a well chosen route that took in places of significance and interest, with the majority of cycling on scenic routes. Where busy roads were involved we just marvelled at the Indians' driving styles! Travel on a bike in India is the perfect way to soak up the sights, sounds and smells, seeing how people go about their daily lives in the towns, countryside and places of worship. Throughout our trip we were constantly surprised by the warm welcome we received from local people.”

“The local team (Joseph, Rintu and Shibu) were great - helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. Kerala is beautiful and the earlier parts of the trip in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu were really interesting. Great food too. And equal parts exciting and tranquil cycling on high quality Specialized bikes (if - like some of the reviewers on here - you can't handle cycling with traffic and potholes. why on earth are you going to India!). My only criticism is about the tour company not the local team - they charged me 450 for a single supplement, which is over double what it should have been - I've checked the rack-prices of everywhere we stayed, and they have been stubborn and unhelpful about dealing with this. A real shame as it marred the end of the trip and made me feel like I was being ripped off.”

“There is nothingnegative to say about this trip. It delivers on all aspects. The cycling is varied- at times a great challenge and other times an easy, pleasurable ride. With the local guides you get to see the real India. I couldn't recommend this trip enough.”
