1. Day: Arrival

Finally, it's happening – your journey to India begins! Your destination is Trivandrum, the vibrant capital of Kerala. Most international flights arrive late at night or in the early morning hours, when the world is still asleep. We'll be waiting for you and take you comfortably to your hotel in Varkala, where you'll spend your first night in this fascinating country and ease into the spirit of the adventure ahead.

2. Day: Varkala

Time to take a deep breath and settle in. The soft sandy beach of Varkala welcomes you with sun, sea, and a relaxed atmosphere – perfect for unwinding or taking a first stroll. If you're up for it, why not have a colorful Indian shirt tailored by one of the local craftspeople? Or simply enjoy a freshly brewed chai in a laid-back beach café and watch the world go by.

3. Day: The first tour / ca. 50 km

Now it’s time to roll out the Royal Enfields! After a quick briefing on the bikes and some tips for navigating Indian traffic, you head out on your first ride. The route takes you leisurely along the coastline – a great way to get used to the bikes and the new environment, with salty breezes, sandy stretches, and smooth roads setting the tone.

4. Day: From Varkala to Kanyakumari / ca. 150 km

Today’s ride takes you all the way to India’s southern tip: Kanyakumari, also known as Cape Comorin. On the way, we stop at an impressive Kali temple and visit the historic wooden palace of Padmanabhapuram. In the evening, witness an unforgettable pooja ritual in the temple of goddess Kanya Kumari as the sun sets spectacularly over the Bay of Bengal. A delicious South Indian thali rounds off the day in style.

5. Day: Kanyakumari to Madurai / ca. 245 km

We head north into the heart of Tamil Nadu – destination: Madurai, one of India’s oldest and most significant cities. Along the way, the landscape transforms, and you’ll ride through lively villages with colorful houses, women in bright saris, and tiny roadside shrines peeking from the greenery.

In Madurai, a cultural gem awaits: the Meenakshi Temple – a masterpiece of Dravidian architecture and a vibrant spiritual center. Wandering through its vast courtyards and intricately carved towers, you’ll feel the deep connection between art, daily life, and devotion. In the evening, enjoy dinner high above the city’s rooftops as the temple glows below in the warm evening light.

6. Day: Madurai to Palani / ca. 165 km

Today’s ride is a treat for all curve-lovers! You ascend into the Western Ghats on winding mountain roads, climbing to over 2,200 meters.

Then it’s down into the warmer valley to Palani – a famous temple town with a lively atmosphere and rich spiritual tradition.

7. Day: Palani to Munnar / ca. 135 km

More mountains, more nature, more adventure! You ride through two beautiful wildlife sanctuaries – Indira Gandhi and Chinnar National Park. With a bit of luck, you might even spot wild elephants. By afternoon, you arrive in the tea paradise of Munnar, where hills and valleys are covered in vibrant green tea bushes.

8. Day: Daytrip around Munnar / ca. 60 km

9. Day: Munnar to Thekkady / ca. 110 km

The landscape shifts again – tea gives way to cardamom and pepper. Welcome to the spice hills of Thekkady! This lively town is great for browsing local markets, shopping for spices, and picking up souvenirs. Our heritage-style hotel offers a warm, authentic atmosphere to relax in.

10. Day: Thekkady

A day to slow down and enjoy. If you’re feeling active, join a guided nature walk in Periyar Wildlife Sanctuary to learn about the region’s plants and animals. Or opt for a peaceful boat ride on Periyar Lake or a soothing Ayurveda massage at one of the many wellness centers.

11. Day: Thekkadi - Munroe Island / ca. 150 km

Refreshed and recharged, we set off on a long but beautiful ride. Winding through lush landscapes and down from the hills, the air grows warmer as we near the coast. Arriving on Munroe Island, you'll find a quiet paradise of backwaters, sleepy villages, and timeless charm.

12. Day: Munroe Island to Varkala / ca. 90 km

The morning is dedicated to exploring Kerala’s famous backwaters by motorboat. We drift along peaceful canals, lined with palm trees and tropical greenery – a deeply tranquil experience. Later, we hop back on the bikes for the final leg of the journey, returning to Varkala where our circle completes.

13. Day: Varkala

The perfect day to simply let go. Treat yourself to a traditional Ayurvedic massage or soak up the sun at the beach. In the evening, enjoy a dinner of freshly caught fish or other local specialties. Depending on your flight time, we’ll take you to the airport – or you may choose to stay one more night in Varkala.
