This stunning 397km cycle challenge takes place in Kerala one of the
undiscovered jewels of India. The sun bleached seashore, incessant blue
waves, green coconut groves and lagoons are all part of the essence of
Kochi, our starting point for the challenge. As we move westwards on our
bicycles we see more of the interior with its lush land of rivers flowing through
hills and paddy fields and emptying themselves into the backwaters. And
finally we arrive at the once far off dark blue mountains, with their hill stations
and cooler temperatures. Only when you have been to Kerala can you understand
why it is named "Gods Own Country".

This is a challenge trip not for the faint hearted. Sign up for just £300, raise the minimum sponsorship of £3000 and all flights, food, accommodation and expert guides are included.

Ashley Holton

"I had the most amazing time, thank you so much. The riding was very difficult yet the thing that amazed me the most was the reception we got at the project. It was a true eye opening experience, something I've never seen and I'll never forget how I felt at that moment."

"It was so important to see that the energy exerted and the money raised could help to change those children's lives for the better. I cannot resist Cycle India next year if I know that it will help children in similar plights."

"A really fantastic trip. Although the cycling was the hardest yet, this made for a true challenge which we all accomplished leading to an amazing bonding experience and great fun overall. As ever visiting the project was the real show stopper. Having witnessed this 3 times I still cannot handle the emotions. In itself a life changing experience. I’m definitely on for India."
