Overview

Enjoy gentle cycling along the tropical Keralan coastline

Kerala is an excellent place to explore by bike; a true paradise with an idyllic coastline, tranquil backwaters, colourful temples and old stone churches. It’s not surprising it is often called God’s own country. Offering a gentler experience than the often-frenetic north, Kerala is great for a first-time bike trip or your first visit to India. From the old spice port of Cochin to the laid-back beach town of Varkala, we gently cycle through beautiful landscapes, fascinating towns and colourful fishing villages, sampling superb south Indian cuisine along the way. A night in a village homestay provides a unique insight into the warm Keralan hospitality, and we cruise the Kerala backwaters on a traditional houseboat before relaxing on the sweeping beaches of Varkala.

  • Explore the old spice town of Cochin

Important Information

The trip destination
  • Five nights in hotels, one night on a houseboat, one night in a homestay
  • Six days of cycling, including one optional ride and a bike tour of Cochin, with full vehicle support
  • Mostly surfaced roads with a few rough sections
  • Group normally 4 to 14, plus leader and driver. Minimum age: 16
  • E-bikes available for an additional cost
Food
All breakfasts, four lunches and two dinners included. Lunches on riding days are usually taken in roadside cafes, allowing us to sample typical south Indian dishes such as poori (deep-fried bread served with curry) and dosa (thin pancake made with fermented rice and lentil batter). South Indian food is heavily influenced by the tropical landscape; creamy coconut dishes enlivened with delicate spices, served on a banana leaf. It’s also an ideal destination if you are vegetarian. Tea and soft drinks are very cheap but a (large) bottle of beer is approximately 410 rupees (US$5). Please note, due to Kerala state laws, alcohol licenses are limited to one or two bars in each area and not all hotels are permitted to serve alcohol. The first day of every month and certain holidays in India are dry days, when no alcohol is permitted for sale. Generally, you can eat out very cheaply in India. Where food is not included, you should allow at least 1,650 rupees (approximately US$20) per day for lunch and dinner. You can eat out very cheaply in India, but if you mainly eat at the more expensive restaurants, you will spend more than the suggested amount. Please note, service in restaurants can be quite slow. Drinking water is provided in the support vehicle, where you can fill your bottle from the containers.
Weather

The most important feature of the Indian climate is the monsoon. The main monsoon strikes the Kerala coast in late May and sweeps northward over the next month or so. The ideal time to visit is during the dry season from October to March. Days will be hot and the nights warm, the average range of maximum daytime temperatures is 21C-35C (70F-95F) and 6C-20C (43F-68F) at night. Expect frequent rain throughout the tour on November departures. However, they are usually quick and the sun normally comes out afterwards. Please note, swimming in the sea at Varkala is not always possible, depending on recent weather conditions.

Is this trip for you?

This trip is classified Road and Activity Level 2 (Leisurely/Moderate).

Number of days cycling: Six, including one optional ride and a bike tour of Cochin

Full vehicle support

Daily distance: 15.5mi-37mi (25km-60km)

Terrain and route: Mostly surfaced roads (which can be rough in places) including plenty of quiet backroads with low traffic levels, but traffic does increase approaching towns. The support vehicle is available at all times if required. The cycling consists of mostly half-day rides, allowing time to explore the sights and relax at your hotel

This trip is designed so you can experience the best parts of Kerala in a short time period. Kerala shows the softer side of the sub-continent, offering a gentler experience than the often-busy north. We follow the coast rather than going inland to avoid the highlands. This itinerary is therefore great for a first-time bike trip or your first visit to India, but there is also plenty of interest for those who have completed cycle trips with us previously in India and want to see a different part of the country.

Please note, the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) are responsible for the conservation of many monuments in India and very occasionally this may mean that work is taking place at sites visited on this trip. The ASI schedule is never published so it is not possible to forewarn our clients of when work will be taking place.
