Flavours Of South India

Highlights

Overview

Embark on an enchanting journey through Kerala, the “Land of Coconuts,” located on India’s west coast. This verdant region stretches over 500 kilometers of tropical coastline along the warm Arabian Sea. Historically, the Malabar Coast of South India has been a pivotal hub for the spice trade in the Indian Ocean. The architectural, religious, and cultural influences of Greek, Roman, Phoenician, Arab, Chinese, and European civilizations are woven into the fabric of Kerala’s vibrant port cities.

Experience Kerala’s rich cultural heritage and picturesque landscapes as we traverse palm-fringed white-sandy beaches, serene pastoral waterways adorned with ornate “kettuvallam” houseboats, and lush rice paddies bordered by coconut groves and rubber plantations, where tigers once roamed.

In Cochin, a city exquisitely situated along the Arabian Sea, our exploration unveils the remnants of its European legacy. Discover the elegance of British mansions, Dutch cottages, and the historical grandeur of a 16th-century synagogue.

Our journey continues to the cool mountain region of Munnar, where verdant tea, coffee, and spice plantations offer a refreshing contrast to the coastal warmth.

The evocative name of Thekkady brings to mind images of majestic elephants, rolling hills, and fragrant spice plantations. In the Periyar Forest of Thekkady, explore one of India’s premier wildlife reserves, surrounded by picturesque plantations and charming hill towns, ideal for invigorating mountain walks.

Aboard a deluxe private houseboat, glide through Kerala’s serene waterways, where traditional rural life unfolds before you. Observe the daily rhythms of local farmers working their fields with water buffaloes and fishermen casting their nets from classic longboats.

Kerala’s thriving culture is a testament to its diverse influences and the emphasis on fresh, local ingredients that have shaped its cuisine. Experience the art of preparing traditional dishes using spices from the Western Ghats, and delve into ancient crafts such as handloom weaving, intricate carvings, and basket weaving, all crafted by skilled hands.

For a moment of tranquility, engage in our meditation & yoga classes, finding harmony and inner peace amidst this culturally rich and naturally beautiful landscape.
