Cycling holidays in Kerala

How this holiday makes a difference

Cycling is the best way to explore the countryside of Kerala, meeting the local people, enjoying their hospitality and trying to understand their culture and lifestyles – an important aspect of any eco-traveler. Those who undertake this journey will be staying at Homestays, guest houses and camps owned by local entrepreneurs, thus contributing directly to the local economy. As the travelling is on cycles most of the way, it enables you to take in the surroundings without damaging the environment.

All the arrangements went well and we loved the Palace and temples at Mysore and the Sri Meenakshi temple at Madurai including the ceremony where images of the gods are put to bed at night - which has to be one of the highlights of the holiday.(read full review)
