Trip Overview

Discover the dual realities of coastal life on the outskirts of Kochi on our Beach & Backwater Cycling tour. Taking you beyond standard tourist routes, this guided bicycle journey explores the vibrant shoreline hamlets of Chellanam and Kannamaly, alongside the peaceful backwater island trails of Kumbalangi.

Riding multi-geared bicycles through traffic-free coastal lanes, you will meet traditional fishing communities directly impacted by sea-level rise and coastal erosion. Learn firsthand how shifting shorelines have reshaped their daily lives, homes, and maritime traditions. The route transitions seamlessly into the serene, palm-shaded village trails of Kumbalangi—Kerala’s pioneer eco-tourism village—where silent backwaters, Chinese fishing nets, and rural village rhythms offer a complete contrast to the open coast.
