Kerala is an excellent place to discover by bike; a true tropical paradise with an idyllic coastline, lush tranquil backwaters, colourful temples and old stone churches. It's not surprising that Kerala is often referred to as 'God's own country'. Offering a gentler experience than the often frenetic north, Kerala is great for a first time bike trip or your first visit to India. From the old spice port of Cochin to the laid-back beach town of Varkala, we gently cycle through beautiful landscapes, fascinating towns and colourful fishing villages, sampling superb south Indian cuisine along the way. A night in a village homestay provides a unique insight into the warm Keralan hospitality, and the backwaters of Kerala are cruised on a traditional houseboat before relaxing on the sweeping beaches of Varkala.



  • Cruise the backwaters on a traditional houseboat
  • Experience warm hospitality in a village homestay
  • Explore the old spice town of Cochin
  • Relax on the sandy beaches of Varkala

We spend five nights in hotels, one night on a houseboat and one night in a homestay (all en suite).



We use tourist-class hotels throughout the trip, all of which have swimming pools, while the village homestay brings a different flavour to the itinerary. The homestay is spread across several houses owned by different families. Here we experience warm Keralan hospitality, alongside a cooking demonstration and dinner with the hosts. Rooms are air conditioned and have a private bathroom. Please note, single rooms can be limited at the homestay.



Hotels in India usually do not have heating as there are really only a couple of months in the year when the weather can be cooler. You can, however, request more blankets or the hotel may be able to provide a standing heater for your room. Please talk to your tour leader if you need help in this matter.



Houseboats are converted rice barges consisting of two to five twin-bedded cabins with private bathrooms. The houseboat has a communal deck and dining area, although the style/layout can vary from boat to boat. There is a cook, driver and assistants for each boat and the food is traditional Keralan fare using local produce. Larger groups may be split over several boats; however, the group will come together for riverside stops and the overnight anchor point where your leader will be available.
