South India Grand Tour
A full loop of the South — out one way, home another.
About This Tour
Our flagship, now a complete Bangalore-to-Bangalore loop of the South. We ride out through Mysore and the Coorg coffee hills, down to the Karnataka coast at Gokarna, Udupi and Mangalore, then along the Malabar shore into Kerala — Kannur, Wayanad, Fort Kochi, Munnar's tea, an Alleppey houseboat, and the beaches of Varkala and Kovalam. We touch the tip of India at Kanyakumari, then take a completely different road home through the temple country — Rameshwaram, Madurai, and back up to Bangalore. Coast, tea, coffee, backwaters, and ancient temples in one continuous ride.
