Western Ghats Monsoon Expedition
Chase the monsoon up the Ghats.
About This Tour
A nine-day expedition that deliberately chases the monsoon up the spine of the Western Ghats. From Bangalore we climb into Chikmagalur's coffee, ride the streaming Agumbe rainforest, drop to the Gokarna coast, cross into Goa, and finish along the Konkan — a green, wet, dramatic traverse for riders who love the rain. Waterfalls at full flow, mist in the passes, and the Ghats at their most alive.
Highlights
- The Agumbe rainforest at peak monsoon
- Mullayanagiri and the Chikmagalur coffee ghats
- Dudhsagar falls in full flow
- The Gokarna coast and the Konkan sea forts
- A green, dramatic traverse of the Ghats
