From the coast, the route gradually climbs into the cool highlands of Munnar. This famous hill station is known for its rolling tea plantations, mountain scenery, and refreshing climate. Along the way, you ride through winding countryside roads surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking viewpoints.

As the journey progresses, you cycle through scenic upland villages before descending into the tranquil backwaters of Alleppey.
