About West Coast Ride: Mysore to Goa (10 Days)
We don't race on this route. You will be pedaling through shifting landscapes, from the quiet forests of the Western Ghats to the coastal breeze of the Arabian Sea, with a premium support vehicle trailing you to handle the gear and fatigue. Every 200 kilometers, the cuisine shifts, the stories change, and we make sure you have the time to stop for a proper chai break or a chat with a local. It is an intimate group of eight, so we keep the pace relaxed and the focus on the journey, not the destination.
We believe that true travel happens at the speed of a cycle. On this 10-day journey from Mysore to Goa, you are not just a tourist watching from a window. You are part of the scenery. The route takes you through the dense forests of the Western Ghats, where the air smells of coffee and earth, eventually opening up to the salty breeze of the Arabian Sea.
What makes this ride different is the focus on the 'slow.' We aren't racing to the finish line. We stop when we find a good story, a local dish we haven't tried, or a view that demands a pause. Because we keep our groups small—capped at eight riders—we can stay in boutique, character-rich properties rather than generic hotels. You will experience the genuine hospitality of the West Coast, supported by our team who handles the logistics, bike maintenance, and luggage transport in a dedicated vehicle.
What to expect
- Terrain: You will face a mix of hilly forest roads and flat coastal stretches. We provide hybrid or mountain bikes with front suspension to handle the variety.
- Logistics: We take care of everything, from gear to stays and snacks. You just bring your legs and your curiosity.
- Food: This is a huge part of the ride. As you pedal through Karnataka and Goa, the food changes every 200 kilometers. We focus on local, organic, and slow food experiences.
Delhi By Cycle
We started this because we realized some of the best parts of India are missed when you are rushing through them. We are just a bunch of folks who believe the road is better when you are on a cycle, talking to people, and actually tasting the local food. Join us, and we will show you the West Coast like you have never seen it before.
