tides of tradition

Destination Details

Pedal through the heart of South India on an unforgettable 10-day cycling adventure. Starting in Trivandrum, ride along coastal roads to Kanyakumari, through temple towns like Madurai, and up into the misty hills of Valparai. Explore spice farms, waterfalls, and backwaters before ending in the historic port city of Kochi. A perfect blend of culture, nature, and challenge for the adventurous soul.

Itinerary

Your journey begins in Trivandrum, Kerala’s cultural capital. Meet your cycling guide and fellow riders, check your gear, and get ready for the adventure ahead.

Ride along scenic coastal roads to Kanyakumari, the southernmost tip of India. Visit the Vivekananda Rock Memorial and witness a stunning sunset where the Arabian Sea, Bay of Bengal, and Indian Ocean converge.

Pedal through rural Tamil Nadu, passing paddy fields, village markets, and sacred temples. Arrive in Madurai, home to the stunning Meenakshi Temple, and take an evening heritage walk.

Leave the bustling city behind as you cycle into the heart of Tamil Nadu’s countryside. Ride past spice plantations and coconut groves, soaking in the peaceful landscapes.

Spend the day exploring the region’s spice trade, visiting local farms, and tasting fresh produce. Enjoy a cooking session with a local family, learning about Tamil flavors.

A thrilling ride takes you through rolling hills, dense forests, and coffee estates. Pollachi, surrounded by lush greenery, is known for its silk cotton trees, waterfalls, and wildlife.

Today’s challenge is a spectacular ride through 40 hairpin bends leading to Valparai’s misty tea estates. Keep an eye out for elephants, deer, and exotic birds along the way.

Descend through tropical forests, making your way to Athirappalli, home to Kerala’s largest waterfall, often called the Niagara of India. Take a refreshing dip or relax by the cascading waters.

The final stretch of your journey takes you toward Kochi, South India’s historic port city. Enjoy a sunset backwater cruise, reflecting on your adventure.
