Register here Green-Aisle

River Crossing at Kalur

July 2011, a very very special CAM ride. Riding along the green aisle of western ghats.

Reason?  - Check out the highlights

• Base at a very serene Home stay at Makkandur. This place is inside a 4-acre coffee estate.
• Lucky few (around 14) stay in tents, outside the homestay.
• The mandalpatti climb – one of the challenging, which the “Suzuki swift” refused to climb on an afternoon. The view from the top is out of the world.
• Four categories on the Day-1, the CAT-1 being the most challenging and CAT-4 being the relaxing most.
• CAT-1 includes couple of river crossing stunts, either push your bike or carry on your back , hold on, the river is a shallow one, so no need to worry.
• Opt for CAT-4 and you will have enough time to spend in a pure, shallow stream of running water. Apart from a relaxing 30 km cycle ride.
• Most of the route covered by trees, well inside the beautiful coorg district, No bus or lorries ply on this route (Day-1). An occasional estate jeep might be sighted at times.
• Most important of all, YUMMY home stay food .
