Whizzing past the glorious backwaters and the stunning beaches of Kerala hardly does justice to the beauty that it is. A tour of this mesmerizing state of India on a bicycle is one, most definite way to not just treat your eyes to it but to also let the whole experience sink in so the memories of it stay with you for a long, long time.
Fort Kochi, historical village of Kerala: Place to study the past through oldest church of India, Chinese finish nets, Dutch palace, Jew down and very many colonial buildings. Overnight stay in Cochin.
It is a scenic combination of forests and little streams. Falling from a height of 80 feet, this is one of the largest waterfalls in the state. Many endangered and endemic species of flora and fauna are found in the forests of this area.
Overnight stay in Athirapally.

From the dam we have a challenging climb all the way to our resort at Chithirapuram. We will gain about 2500 feet in altitude. There will be a significant difference in temperature between the start and the finish area.
After an early breakfast we will start our cycling through the magical Tea Country “Munnar”. We will ride through Eravikulam National Park famous for the endangered Nilgiri Thar (almost half the world's population of this highly endangered mountain goat is found here) Post lunch from Talayar Bungalow we will cycle to Marayoor. Marayoor claims to be a part of a Stone Age civilization that is as old as 10,000 B.C. It is also home to a later period of large-scale dolmen-building. The land and its unique dolmens, caves, rock edicts and engravings declare its rich heritage. Visit the sandalwood forests, dolmens of Marayoor.
Biking along the famed tea gardens of Munnar through the Grahams land estate and the daunting mountain pass "Lockhart Gap", a testimony to the perseverance of the early planters. Arrive at the Campsite at Suryanelli and stay in tents.

Hi, I am Ivon your friend from India. As I was growing up I was impressed by people who were dedicated to travel and who were always looking for new and fascinating experiences. Learning about famous travellers set me on the path of findingmy own travel adventures with friends and it became one of my passions. Having traveled extensively through India, I've gained an in-depth knowledge of India's rich culture, much of which remains undiscovered by the average traveler. And it's great to be able to share my love of India with a friend like you.
