KERALA / KARNATAKA
WESTERN GHATS
MIST. CURVES. COFFEE ESTATES. ENDLESS GREEN.
ABOUT THIS RIDE
The Western Ghats ride is RAW TRAILS at its most scenic. Winding through one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, this route takes you through coffee and spice estates, misty forest corridors, hairpin bends with valley views and the kind of green that you only find in the Western Ghats.
This is the ideal entry point for riders new to adventure touring — manageable terrain, spectacular scenery and the full RAW TRAILS community experience. Experienced riders will find the twisties and the culture equally rewarding.
