Environment
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.

Wonderful memories....The organisation of our two week cycling holiday in Kerala with the operator was excellent.

The cycling was great, having a bike guide and a backup van worked really well for our style of cycling as it meant we didn't have to worry about each other. Francis and Shibu were great fun and we all enjoyed a beer together after finishing a ride. Read full reviewReviewed on 15 Mar 2010 by James Strachan
The visit to the highest tea plantation and factory and sampling the delightful organic teas; a Kathakali make-up, preparation, rehearsal and performance; the wonderful nature reserves; the kayaking at Thekaddi; and the relaxing days on the rice-boat on the backwaters - all were memorable.

There are so many memorable moments - the beautiful scenery of the tea plantations around Munnar and the charming homestay on the Talliar tea estate, the camp overlooking the elephant reservoir in Surynelli...

Cycling through the tea plantations was amazingly beautiful and peaceful. The scenery through the mountains was stunning, and gave us the opportunity to see villages and meet people that other tours just don't offer. Read full reviewReviewed on 12 Mar 2006 by John Keen
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.

The children in particular were so happy to see us and kept waving and shouting out hello. The scenery was gorgeous, the food was excellent and lots of it, the roads were appalling - and the traffic just plain exciting. Read full reviewReviewed on 23 Mar 2006 by Ian Hobson
It was all memorable. The vistas were incredible - particularly in the tea plantations and glimpsing the wild elephants in the Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary. Food was just superb every time. Read full reviewReviewed on 05 Mar 2006 by Catherine Ward
