Journey Through India

February 2nd - 20th, 2027 

Untitled design-2_edited.jpg

Welcome to India, a country of contrasts and connections where lush jungles meet sacred rivers and ancient palaces rise from golden sands. This nineteen-day adventure invites you to journey through the heart and soul of India, from the peaceful rhythm of the South to the vibrant pulse of the North, in one beautifully woven experience designed for women of wisdom seeking depth, wonder, and belonging.

 

We begin in Kerala, lovingly known as God’s Own Country, where the scent of spice lingers in the air and life moves to the slow sway of coconut palms. Here, you will immerse yourself in serene backwaters, emerald tea hills, and colourful village life—a space to rest, reset, and reconnect.

 

From there, the journey unfolds northward into India’s famed Golden Triangle—Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur—where centuries of history meet vibrant modern life. Wander through bustling bazaars, marvel at the breathtaking Taj Mahal at sunrise, and be swept up in the regal romance of Rajasthan’s Pink City. Every step is a story, every moment an invitation to rediscover your sense of awe.

 

Together, these chapters create a once-in-a-lifetime experience that captures the full spectrum of India: its beauty, complexity, and soul.

The Journey
Days 1–12 | Southern India – Kerala’s Tranquil Beauty

 

Explore the serene South, where nature and tradition intertwine in perfect harmony.

 

  • Wander through the cobblestone streets of Cochin, rich in Portuguese, Dutch, and Jewish heritage.

  • Trek the emerald tea hills of Munnar, visit a tea museum, and sip the freshest brews with panoramic views.

  • Discover the spice-scented trails of Thekkady, tour a working plantation, and join a jungle safari guided by a local naturalist.

  • Drift through the Kumarakom backwaters aboard a traditional houseboat, watching daily life unfold along the canals.

  • Slow down by the sea in Marari, a peaceful beachside village where you are invited to pause, breathe, stretch, journal, and simply be.

 

Throughout your time in Kerala, you will enjoy hands-on cultural encounters, from synagogue and village tours to optional Ayurvedic treatments that nurture both body and spirit.

 

Days 13–19 | Northern India – The Golden Triangle

 

Bid farewell to Kerala’s calm waters and fly north to India’s vibrant capital, where Mughal grandeur meets modern rhythm.

 

Delhi | Step into a living mosaic of old and new. Ride a rickshaw through Old Delhi’s spice markets, visit the majestic Jama Masjid and Red Fort, then contrast it with New Delhi’s colonial grace—from the Presidential Palace to Humayun’s Tomb and the Qutub Minar.

 

Agra | Feel the heartbeat of history in the City of Love. Stand before the Taj Mahal at sunrise—an unforgettable vision of devotion and beauty—and explore the impressive Agra Fort, home to generations of Mughal emperors.

 

Jaipur | End your journey amid the pink-hued palaces and colourful markets of Rajasthan’s capital.

 

  • Ascend the Amber Fort, a hilltop masterpiece of marble and sandstone.

  • Wander through the City Palace and marvel at the ancient Jantar Mantar observatory.

  • Explore local artistry in the Johri Bazaar, where you'll find a treasure trove of gemstones, textiles, and other treasures.

  • Visit the iconic Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) and the serene Galta Ji Monkey Temple.

  • Enjoy a hands-on cultural experience, such as a block-printing workshop or a private cooking session with a local family—a heartwarming close to your time in India.

 

Spend your final morning soaking in Jaipur’s magic before departing with memories, friendships, and stories that will stay with you forever.
