Covering nearly 650 kilometres over 10 days, we explored the coastal routes of Kerala, uncovering stories and experiences that went far beyond the usual tourist trails. This journey was not just about the miles we pedalled but about the people we met, the landscapes we witnessed, and the spirit of communal harmony that cycling brought to life. Embarking on a long-distance cycling trip with my 10-year old son, Danyl Mathew Philip, was a challenge I eagerly accepted.
