Details
Jump on the saddle to discover laidback southern India on this cycling group adventure. Accompanied by an expert tour leader and a support vehicle, we are on the saddle most days, riding from the cool Western Ghats to the quiet backwaters of Kerala. Expect some challenging rides – there are high fives all round at the top of the Ooty hairpins! – plus off-the-saddle adventures, including a traditional houseboat stay and a 4x4 safari in Bandipur National Park. We finish in Varkala, on the old hippie trail, for downtime at the beach.
