Description
Cultural cycling through the beautiful landscapes and villages of southern India
Southern India is a mystical place, where time, culture and countryside have stood still for centuries. In the cool heights of the Western Ghats the sanctuaries at Bandipur and Mudumalai hide wild elephants, tigers and leopards in the jungle and bamboo forests. We cycle round old forts and up to religious rock shrines as well as through colourful villages where rural life has remained little-changed for centuries. Further south, in Kerala, Hinduism has produced some of India's most elaborately decorated temples. A relaxing boat trip on the quiet backwaters here offers a change of pace from the bicycles, before the final coastal ride to Kovalam and a chance to laze on the beach and reflect on an unforgettable experience of rural India.
