Join Sue Barlow for an unforgettable journey through the soulful landscapes of Southern India—a place where ancient traditions, sacred rituals and natural beauty unite.

We fly into Bengaluru and commence our journey to the regal city of Mysore, known for silkworms and sandalwood, vibrant flower markets and the rich cultural heritage of its majestic palace. Here, we visit local markets and shop for fresh produce, immerse in an interactive culinary cooking demonstration and share in a joyful evening dining and dancing with a local family.

Our journey continues to the tranquil hills of Coorg, where we retreat to luxurious Pool Villas nestled among lush, coffee-scented forests. Here, we unwind with soul-soothing nature walks and forest bathing, gently reconnecting with the rhythms of the natural world.

For a rare opportunity for mindful presence, cultural connection and quiet transformation in the heart of Southern India’s sacred hills, next we visit Bylakuppe, home to one of the largest Tibetan settlements in India. Here, we experience an intimate visit immersed in the spiritual life of the monastic community—mingling with the monks, witnessing sacred rituals and experiencing the dynamic energy of a traditional Buddhist debate, where philosophy comes alive in spirited dialogue.

From the hills of Coorg, we journey west to Mangalore, a coastal city rich in spiritual heritage and renowned for its intricate bronze artistry. Explore ornate temples and local sights before boarding our train for a trip along India’s scenic coastline, witnessing the tapestry of local life as it unfolds outside your window, to the peaceful shores of Gokarna.

Our next 5-nights are spent at a serene eco-resort set amongst 26-acres on Om Beach with an immersive yoga, meditation and mindfulness retreat, curated and led by Sue; offering space for reflection, movement and inner stillness in the tranquil shala and held within the healing rhythm of coastal life. The rest of the day invites you to explore the resorts complimentary yoga sessions. This is a sacred space for connection, laughter, self-care and spiritual nourishment.

We conclude our soulful journey with a relaxing stay in South Goa, where beaches meet Portuguese-inspired charm. We discover Old Goa’s colonial charm on a guided heritage walk and wander the colourful, art-filled lanes of Latin Quarter of Fontainhas offering a final taste of the region’s rich cultural tapestry.

Woven throughout this tour is a unique blend of yoga, meditation and mindfulness, personally curated and facilitated by Sue Barlow.
