By 4 p.m. the coastal road out of Alappuzha loosens into a procession of palms, fishing boats, and open sky. Salt-laced wind pushes at your handlebars as you pass shuttered market stalls waking for evening trade, a squat lighthouse sketching itself against a flat Arabian Sea, and temple bells that mark the hour. The light softens; the road hums beneath a geared bike as villages stitch together a slow, local rhythm.
