Mountain Bike Outlook
Kerala – The God’s Own Country
An advanced society : A hundred percent literate people with world-class health care systems Kerala boasts of the lowest infant mortality, highest life expectancy and the highest physical quality of life in India. Peaceful and pristine, Kerala is also the cleanest state in India.
Geography : The eastern region of the state is dominated by the ranges of the Sahya Mountains with dense tropical forests, misty peaks, extensive ridges and ravines. Sandalwood, cardamom, cinnamon, oil seeds, tea, coffee and rubber are extensively cultivated here. The mid-land has fertile redhills and valleys growing tapioca, banana, coconut, arecanut, mango, cashew nut, plantain, pepper and ginger. The sandy coastal region is picturesque with extensive coconut groves, paddy fields, backwaters and the ever-changing sea. Forty four rivers spring from the mountains, taking a zigzag course between the hills they join the backwaters and lagoons or directly merge with the sea.
Climate : The sound and fury of the lashing monsoons is a memorable experience in Kerala. Two monsoons visit Kerala (June to July and September to October) bringing plenty of rains. The heat is never severe.
Temperature : Maximum – 35 Degree Centigrade and Minimum 20 Degree Centigrade.
Rainfall : 254 cms
Clothing round the year : Tropical
People and Life : Kerala is easily the most progressive state in India as it has achieved 100% literacy and has networked social welfare activities. People have a cosmopolitan outlook and have a flair for languages – with the average native at home in his mother tongue as also English, Hindi and Tamil. The system of clustered villages is absent in Kerala. Apart from the crowded towns, interior Kerala has retained its ethnic charm coupled with an over riding cleanliness and absence of pollution of any kind – air or water. Absolute communal harmony is another notable feature in the state where you will find churches, mosques and temples co-existing without any antagonism between religious groups.
Art and Culture : Kerala has a rich tradition of music, art and culture. Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, Kudiyattam, Krishnanattam, Theyyam and Kalaripayattu are some of the more important art forms.
Festivals : Kerala comes totally alive during festival time. Vishu, Onam, Christmas, Ramzan and Pooja are festivals, which transcend all barriers of caste and creed. During the period of your stay you will be able to experience some of these festivals.
Ayurveda : Kerala is famous for its Ayurvedic treatment facilities – a natural form of therapy using herbal oils and massage in existence from Vedic times.
Soft Adventure Experiences : Kerala is uniquely suited for the adventure traveler…the long beach line for water sports, the backwaters for canoeing, the fast flowing rivers for rafting, the jungle trails to explore and commune with nature, the rolling hills for the trekkers. You name your favorite activity and we will make it happen – trekking, paragliding, river rafting, mountain biking, canoeing and wildlife / birding tours, deep sea fishing with local fishermen, ‘A Day with an Elephant’, Camp in the forests etc.
Voluntourism : Experience Kerala with volunteering at school for the disabled / orphanage / Mother Teresa’s home for the disadvantaged.
Vedic and Tantric Practices : The vibrant culture of the land is manifest in the Vedic and Tantric rituals passed down from generation to generation over the last 5000 years and practiced by dedicated practitioners:-
PITHRUKARMAM – a tantric ritual of paying homage to our ancestors who are dead and gone.
SPECIAL HOMAM / POOJA – Exclusive rituals for personal and family wellbeing.
JYOTHISHAM / ASTROLOGY – An ancient science that has a variety of methods of practice.
