sculpt to shore

Destination Details

Sculpt to Shore is a 12-day cycling expedition that traces South India’s most enchanting transitions—from ancient rock temples to misty hills and tropical shores. Starting in Mahabalipuram, ride through UNESCO heritage sites, French colonial towns, rural Tamil Nadu, and the scenic Western Ghats, before descending into the wild forests of Wayanad and ending at the serene beaches of Kannur.

Itinerary

Arrive in Chennai, meet your cycling leader and fellow riders, and transfer to Mahabalipuram, a coastal town known for its ancient rock carvings and vibrant fishing communities.

Cycle along the Coromandel Coast, visiting UNESCO-listed stone temples, rock-cut caves, and golden beaches before riding toward Pondicherry.

Pedal along the coast to Pondicherry, a former French colony. Explore the colorful boulevards, quaint cafes, and serene beaches before an evening at leisure.

Leave the city behind and ride through village backroads, lush paddy fields, and coconut groves, reaching the temple town of Mayiladuthurai.

Explore the Brihadeeswarar Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of South India’s greatest architectural wonders.

Take an afternoon train from Tanjore to Coimbatore, enjoying stunning countryside views. Explore Coimbatore’s vibrant markets on a short evening ride.

Cycle toward Mettupalayam, the foothills of the Nilgiri Mountains, preparing for the breathtaking climb ahead.

Challenge yourself with an exciting ascent to Ooty, a former British hill station known for its lush tea gardens, cool weather, and colonial charm.

Descend through winding roads, entering Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary, where you might spot elephants, bison, and deer along the way.

Cycle through dense forests and spice plantations, crossing into Kerala’s Wayanad region, known for its misty hills and coffee estates.

Pedal toward Kannur, reaching the stunning Malabar coast. Relax on the beaches, visit local fishing villages, or explore historic forts.

After a final coastal sunrise and a relaxed morning, bid farewell to your fellow riders. Transfer to the airport or railway station for your onward journey, carrying memories of ancient sculptures, misty hills, jungle trails, and the serene shores of Kerala. Your cycling adventure across South India comes to a close—but the spirit of the journey rides on.
