OVERVIEW
Kerala is home to a plethora of nature’s wonders that go beyond a mere surface experience—its food, its culture, its traditions, right to its very soul, you will be experiencing a way of life. As you cycle along the back roads of this green state, you will get a chance to wander off the usual tourist trails through the ruggedly beautiful mountains of Munnar, the wildlife-rich rain forests of Periyar, the fascinating backwaters near the ancient port of Alleppey, the spice gardens in the lowlands and the historic city of Kochi.
