About the Destination:
Famous for its beautiful sceneries, tea plantations, fields and estates, Gudalur makes a glorious biking expedition. It derives its name from the Tamil words 'koodal oooru', which mean adjoining village. Indeed, Gudalur adjoins Ooty, Gundalpet and Nilambur and is equidistant from Kerala, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Apart from great visual beauty, the place is rich in wildlife and both high-altitude and low-altitude flora and crops. The village traces the origins of its tea plantation back to the British occupation. Being situated close to other states, its demographic is an interesting amalgamation of cultures, especially after the 1970s, when the Tamil Nadu government agreed to give shelter to refugees from Sri Lanka.
The fundraising cycling tour to Gudalur begins at Bangalore, where you will cover 350 kms all the way to Gudalur. On the way, stop and visit many places and people from different professions and cultures, including silkworm rearers in a sericulture farm, jaggery sellers, potters, the Mudumalai tiger reserve and a group of villagers in Kokkarebellur who have formed an animal conservation group.
