On the South India motorcycle tour, we drive through palm groves, along the canals of the unique backwaters and up over 2,000 meters in the tropical mountains with green tea bushes as far as the eye can see. We'll go on jeep safaris in the jungle looking for leopards and wild elephants, visit local villages in the tea plantations, taste delicious South Indian cuisine and spend the night on a cozy houseboat. We'll also drive along the Indian Ocean and spend the night at one of the country's best beaches where you can relax and enjoy life. We visit the magnificent Padmanabhaswamy Temple - one of the world's richest temples and South India's answer to the Taj Mahal. The tour starts in the fabled and well-preserved colonial city, Fort Kochi, where Vasco da Gama ended his days on December 24, 1524. The state of Kerala is green and lush and one of the most prosperous states in India. Here, 95 % of the population can both read and write, and the region is free from the poverty and deprivation that prevents many from traveling in India.
