    [Photo Feature]: Escape from Summer - Kerala ride

    City life can be great: It's fast paced, it’s exciting, and everything you could ever want is usually located within a ten-block radius. But let’s be honest. During the summer months, it can get a little suffocating. Maybe you live in a third-floor apartment with no AC, or maybe you’re just sick of the weird smells and the amount of face sweat that accumulates during a subway ride. It’s time to get out.

    Yes, we want to escape from this summer. Thankfully, Kerala is blessed with mountains, hills, exotic forest and other places to visit in summer that provide some respite from the scorching heat wave. We planned to ride and explore the most serenely beautiful Kerala.

    Here is the photos of our 5 days road trip to Kerala.

    Day 1: Bangalore - Krishnagiri - Salem - Avinashi - Palladam - Pollachi - Valparai
