See the best of southern India on a cycling tour of Kerala

Unwind in India’s fertile South, a land dotted with spice plantations, crumbling ruins and scenic ocean shores.

  • Spot wildlife in lush national parks
  • Cruise the Kerala Backwaters on a traditional houseboat
  • Enjoy spectacular views of mountains, jungles and tea plantations
  • Witness the laidback pace of traditional fishing villages
