点评:Kerala is an extremely beautiful place and being able to explore by bike was magical. A large reason for that was the route that has been evolved by Mike to be as interesting and relaxed as possible. The cycling was of moderate difficulty with some more tiring days, but every effort was worth it as you stopped in local villages and at local tea houses for amazing snacks and refreshments.
The tour itself could not have been run better. Mike and Deepak were so supportive and attentive throughout each day, Tumbe was an expert at navigating the van through the small roads, and the selected hotels were each unique but consistent in cleanliness and comfort. The bikes were of high quality and when the inevitable small issues arose it was quickly fixed with a smile and confidence-inspiring knowledge. Mikes passion for the region was obvious with him excited to show us the local locations and traditions (morning drink of toddy anyone?) and Deepak’s hospitality was never ending, every time you thought of something you might want he was already ahead of you and making it happen in an unassuming way.
I really cannot think of any better way to visit Kerala and any future India cycle trips we take will certainly be with Mountain Bike Kerala.

这次旅行本身再好不过了。Mike 和 Deepak 每天都非常支持和细心,Tumbe 是驾驶面包车穿越小路的专家,所选的酒店各有特色,但清洁和舒适度始终如一。自行车质量很高,当不可避免的小问题出现时,他们会面带微笑,知识渊博,信心十足。Mikes 对该地区充满热情,他很兴奋地向我们展示当地的景点和传统(早上有人喝托迪酒吗?),Deepak 的热情好客永无止境,每次你想到你可能想要的东西时,他都已经走在你前面,以一种谦逊的方式让它成为现实。
我真的想不出还有什么更好的方式来游览喀拉拉邦,将来我们去印度的任何自行车旅行肯定都会选择喀拉拉山地自行车。
