Dam’n BRM

200km cycling ride with a punishing 2700m elevation gain, starting and ending in Trivandrum, is an absolute endurance test, pushing the limits of strength and stamina.

The Route: https://www.strava.com/routes/3318925548879747710

🚴 Start: Trivandrum – Rolling out from the city, the initial kilometers serve as a warm-up before the real challenge begins.

⛰️ Punalur Hanging Bridge – The historic bridge marks the start of relentless climbs towards the Western Ghats.

🔥 Thenmala & Kallar Dam – The gradients intensify through the Thenmala forest roads, leading to Kallar Dam, where steep and continuous ascents make their presence felt.

🌿 Peppara Wildlife Sanctuary – Perhaps the toughest segment, with gruelling inclines, forested roads, and unpredictable terrain. Each climb saps energy, but the raw beauty of the sanctuary provides some solace.

💧 Neyyar Dam – The final major checkpoint, but the suffering isn’t over yet! The return leg packs in more rolling climbs, ensuring a brutal finish back to Trivandrum.

Why It’s the Toughest:

✅ 2700m elevation gain – Relentless climbs with no easy sections.
✅ 200 km of endurance demand – A test of both physical and mental toughness.

✅ Heat & humidity factor – Kerala’s tropical conditions add to the challenge.
✅ Ghat roads & unpredictable terrain – Constant elevation spikes make it harder than a typical long ride.

A ride only for the toughest cyclists, this is a true test of grit, endurance, and climbing ability. Conquering this route is no small feat—it’s a brag-worthy milestone in any cyclist’s journey. 🚴‍♂️🔥💪
