The Coastal Circuit 2026: What to Expect on EVM Wheels' Kochi–Alappuzha–Varkala Guided Ride There's a version of Kerala most riders never see. Not because it isn't there — it's right there, along the coast, from Kochi south through Alappuzha and all the way to the cliffs at Varkala. The roads are real. The stops are beautiful. The timing, the route, the knowledge of which bend to take slowly and which stretch to open up on, - thats what most solo riders miss. The Coastal Circuit 2026 is EVM Wheels' answer to that gap. A 3-day guided motorcycle experience —in July — where every kilometre is planned, every stop is chosen, and all you have to do is ride.
Monsoon is when Kerala truly comes alive. Mist-covered mountains, overflowing waterfalls, lush green forests, and peaceful backwaters make every journey unforgettable. Whether you're planning a quick weekend getaway or a long scenic drive, this is the perfect season to explore God's Own Country.

Every weekday morning, Kochi’s roads paint the same picture — long queues of cars inching forward, horns echoing through the air, and commuters silently calculating the time and money slipping away before they reach their destination. Yet within this familiar chaos, a new rhythm is emerging
India today faces a moment of economic reflection. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged citizens to adopt austerity measures — conserve fuel, avoid non‑essential foreign travel, and postpone gold purchases for at least one year. His message is clear: these steps are not sacrifices, but investments in national stability. He frames these steps as “economic patriotism”, a way to protect India’s foreign exchange reserves amid the escalating West Asia crisis.
Kochi is a city that never stands still. From Kakkanad’s IT corridor to the charm of Fort Kochi, from MG Road’s rush to Cherai’s calm evenings — the rhythm of movement is constant. Yet anyone stuck at Vyttila junction at 6 PM knows the hidden cost: hours That’s where carpool culture steps in — and EVM Wheels has reimagined it for Kochi’s weekdays.
