Beautiful coastal rides on beachside and village roads - one needs nothing more!
The West Coast Odyssey traverses Karnataka's beautiful Konkan coastline. You'll be riding ~150 km over 2 days, with many stunning sights along the way, along idyllic beach roads. Several route sections run through little slivers of land wedged between the Arabian Sea and the backwaters. While not on the saddle, you'll be participating in kayaking lessons, exploring the mangroves, and watching beautiful sunsets on pristine beaches and estuaries. This is the cycling holiday you've been dreaming of!

This idyllic coastline is the best place to get away for a few days from the city. The people are warm and hospitable, the beaches are pristine and the sunsets are to die for!
