Kochi to Goa South India Best Cycling Trail

Way back in the mid-1600s, a holy man named Baba Budan brought back seven germinable coffee beans with him while returning from a pilgrimage in Arabia. Since then, coffee plants have been flourishing in the hilly region of not just Chikmagalur, where he planted them, but also in the entire region of Coorg. The Baba Budan range is steeped in history, and its slopes are redolent with green bushes of fine Arabica and Robusta, the two variants of coffee grown here. We will be following his path to explore the coffee trails in India. This is a cycling adventure from Cochin to Goa, taking you through some of the best stretches in South India, covering three South Indian states. Enjoy the pleasant climate and roads with few cars as you cycle through lands of breathtaking scenery and rich culture.
