Destination Details

Set off on an unforgettable two-week cycling odyssey across the Dravidian heartland—from Kochi’s spice-laden shores to the temple-studded plains of Tamil Nadu, ending at the ancient stone marvels of Mahabalipuram and the gateway city of Chennai. This is a ride through time, terrain, and tradition.

Itinerary

Arrive in Kochi, the historic trading port of Kerala. Meet your cycling leader and fellow riders, explore Fort Kochi’s colonial streets, and enjoy an evening by the Arabian Sea.

Cycle through lush greenery and spice plantations, reaching Athirappalli, home to Kerala’s largest waterfall. Relax by the cascading waters after a scenic ride.

Pedal through winding roads and dense forests, climbing toward the stunning Valparai hill station, known for its endless tea estates and wildlife sightings.

Descend through tea gardens and forest reserves, reaching Pollachi, a serene town surrounded by palm groves and farmlands.

Ride through the countryside, passing by quaint villages and spice plantations. Soak in the peaceful landscapes as you approach Sembatti.

Take a break from cycling and explore local spice farms, meet farmers, and enjoy a hands-on cooking experience.

Pedal toward Madurai, one of India’s oldest cities, home to the Meenakshi Temple, a stunning example of Dravidian architecture.

Ride through the heritage-rich region of Chettinad, famous for its grand mansions, rich cuisine, and unique Tamil traditions.

Cycle toward Tanjore, home to the Brihadeeswarar Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and explore its artistic legacy.

Spend the day delving into the region’s rich history, traditional music, and ancient temple carvings.

Pedal past riverside villages and hidden temples, experiencing the slower pace of life in Tamil Nadu’s spiritual heartland.

Arrive in Pondicherry, a former French colony, and explore its European-style boulevards, seaside promenade, and vibrant café culture.

Cycle along the Coromandel Coast, reaching Mahabalipuram, where you’ll explore UNESCO-listed rock-cut temples and ancient stone carvings.

Transfer to Chennai International Airport, marking the end of an incredible two-week cycling adventure through South India.
