Join Jacqui & Shimon on an exciting adventure through the enchanting landscapes of Southern India.

Our journey begins in the city of Fort Kochi, an enclave, where the tapestry of history, art and culture converge with the echoes of ancient trade. We explore its laneways, markets, boutique shops, experience centuries old local practices, colonial architecture and fusion of cultures.

From here, the journey ascends to the misty hills of Munnar, famous for its rolling tea plantations and serene viewpoints. It is here we take part in an immersive tea-plucking experience alongside local workers, and share a traditional dining experience with plantation owners.

We then traverse the beautiful western ghats to Periyar wildlife sanctuary. We immerse ourselves in the aromatic richness of the Spice Plantations, uncovering the medicinal wonders of cardamom, pepper and cloves unveiling the distinctive flavours that distinguish Kerala cuisine. We will visit local markets to buy produce, source from the organic gardens and with our private chef immerse in an interactive culinary cooking experience. Nature walks, boating and yoga complement our stay.

We continue the journey through the renowned Kerala backwaters, where we spend two nights on Premium Houseboats. We immerse ourselves in village life, visiting a local school, church and community. Canoe through the backwaters and unwind on our private houseboats with chefs and crews ensuring an all-inclusive experience.

We then take a scenic train ride to Trivandrum, watching the vibrant tapestry of local life unfold outside your window, before arriving at a stunning cliff-top resort overlooking the coastal shores. Immerse yourself in the region’s rich heritage with a visit to the Padmanabha Swamy Temple, and culminating your journey with our farewell dinner.

Woven throughout this tour is a unique blend of yoga, meditation and mindfulness personally facilitated by Jaqcui & Shimon.
