We leave the Heritage City after an early breakfast and ride towards the city of Ooty. We continue on the Mysore Road for a few hours passing some quaint villages of Karnataka, before turning towards the national reserve forest of Bandipur. If we are lucky, we will have some sightings of our friends from the wild as we meander through the beautiful forest roads. Right in the middle of the forest, we pass the check post and cross over to Tamil Nadu. Then, we start our ascent towards the Nilgiris and Udhagamandalam – better known as Ooty, the Queen of the Hills. The chill in the air and the beautiful vistas welcome us to the favorite hill station of the south.

Ooty to Valparai

The cool air changes as we climb down from the Nilgiris and ride towards Coimbatore. And after a great local meal at Pollachi, the flower capital of Tamil Nadu, we turn towards Sethumadai to catch sights of some real village sights, and then start our climb towards Valparai. Once we pass the Aliar Dam, a green carpet of tea plantations appears and becomes a great backdrop for our journey towards the small hill station in Valparai. The quaint accommodation at Valparai allows us to soak in the colonial legacy of this land.

Valparai – Exploration Day

Lush green vegetation and high humidity awaits us as we ride through narrow roads and busy towns of Kerala. After stopping for some tea and Pazham Pori in a typical Kerala tea stall we now reach the famous back waters of Kerala. As we ride along the shore we start seeing some unique sights of life on the back waters. We will finally reach our destination at the wonderful lake shore resort in Kumarakom.

    Everything was organized very professionally and the tour group were in the very capable hands of Anil and Sagar from the Goodwind team. I absolutely loved the off-beat routes that Anil and Sagar took us through and I have some very unique memories thanks to that. The stays were fabulous, the food was even better and the company was the best.
