Top Karnataka On the Ground

Embark on a delightful cycle tour in the royal city of Mysore, a perfect way to explore its serene beauty and rich heritage. Known for its regal charm, Mysore transforms into a calm haven in the early morning hours, making it an ideal time for cycling enthusiasts to traverse its scenic lanes and iconic landmarks. Begin your journey at the magnificent Jagan Mohan Palace, a historic structure that once served as the royal residence. We will explore some lost temples and walk inside Devraja Market, an ordinary market playing an extraordinary role in the daily life of locals. Pedal your way to St. Philomena’s Church, a neo-Gothic marvel that stands tall with its impressive spires and intricate stained-glass windows. We will also pass by Mysore Palace and a workshop of stone artists. The tour includes a chai break and a breakfast break.

The tour is led by a cultural evangelist who will also be the escort rider. While riding he will ensure a safe navigation through the Indian traffic. He will also ensure an immersive cultural experience of South India through this ride. The tour is organised on the legendary Royal Enfield Motorcycles. When it comes to stimulating all the senses, no other motorcycle comes even close to a Royal Enfield with its legendary thump.

Kodachadri is a birders paradise with many excellent habitats. This tour focuses on the endemic birds of the Western Ghats and South India generally.

The picture-perfect canvas of Kodachadri Peak, which is encircled by the dense Mookambika National Park, is the ideal location for stargazing. Kodachadri, Karnataka's tenth-highest mountain and one of the most well-known hikes in the Western Ghats, has been designated as a "Natural Heritage Site" by the state government. It is a rather remote area with no light pollution. As a result, it is assured that, under clear skies, one may see the Milky Way Galaxy and numerous constellations clearly without the need for a telescope. Since this summit is located in the western ghats' medicinal plant zone, the night air is frequently scented with the aroma of herbs. The best time to plan this trip is during new moon nights.
