About your trip

Immerse yourself in ancient yoga, encounter the flavors of Southern India and relax on soft white beaches on this serene wellness escape.

India is the birthplace of yoga, mindfulness and meditation, and you’ll feel it more than ever in the southern state of Kerala. Offering a quieter route into India’s vibrant culture, you’ll find Kerala a relaxing counterpart to the manic energy of the northern cities.

As you absorb yourself in daily yoga sessions, kayak through the lush landscape and uncover the secrets of the local cuisine, city life will soon seem like a distant dream.

Our Favorite Hotels

Coconut Lagoon, Kumarakom

Coconut Lagoon’s wooden bungalows and mansion house lie on the banks of picturesque Vembanad Lake. Rooms come with shady verandahs, there’s a large communal pool and excellent curries at the onsite Aymanam restaurant.

The Marari Beach, Mararikulam

A super-stylish hotel with heart, thanks to initiatives such as plastic-free toiletries, solar panels and rainwater harvesting, plus a project with local female weavers who make the elegant towels in the guests’ thatch-roof bungalows.

Important Notes

: Fly into and out of Cochin International Airport (COK).
: Please ensure that your flight lands no later than 11am on day 1, so that you arrive at the hotel in time for your welcome meeting at 2pm. You can depart anytime on the last day, but please be aware that you’ll need to factor in five hours between leaving the hotel and your flight departure time.
: In the backwaters of Alleppey, many people stay the night on kettuvallum houseboats. But between petrol fumes, blaring music and crowded parking spaces, we prefer to draw on the facilities of a luxury canal-front hotel.
: All included meals will be served in a buffet format, so you can pick and choose between a wide range of dishes and experience the diversity of Keralan cuisine first-hand.
: Please be aware that the itinerary, activities and hotels are subject to change. These changes can happen with little notice due to availability, poor weather, seasonal changes, or other circumstances beyond our control. From time to time we may also make changes to your itinerary to try out new ideas and keep things fresh.
