Kerala Bicycle Tour - 12 days
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.

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.
