Escape to serene Kerala on this 11-day, relaxed-paced small-group tour.

These unique properties blend seamlessly with their surroundings, offering eco-friendly stays, locally inspired cuisine, and immersive cultural experiences that reflect Kerala’s heritage – from morning yoga and traditional craft making to cultural performances and age-old wellness rituals that have stood the test of time.
