We’ll begin our experience with a warm meet and greet at a beautiful backwater-side home, where you’ll be welcomed with a refreshing drink. I’ll then give you a brief introduction to the trip and what to expect during our adventure.
Then set off on a 25 km cycling adventure through Kerala’s scenic countryside. Ride along quiet backroads, passing wetlands rich in birdlife, traditional fish farms, and the iconic Chinese fishing nets. Continue along the coastal highway to a bustling fishing harbour and witness the morning fish auction.
Visit the unique Fishermen’s Church, designed like a boat, before taking a ferry ride with your bikes to Changaram Wetland for more birdwatching.
