This site is dedicated to our 12-day India tour offered every March or April. There will be no tour in 2026. The 2027 tour will focus on a purely relaxing South Indian experience, including Kerala, Madurai, Thanjavur, Chidambaram Nataraj Temple, Puducherry, and Chennai. We’ll begin with 5 days of Ayurvedic rejuvenation treatments and sightseeing in Kerala. Then, on to some sweet South India sacred spots for the 7-day adventure travel of a lifetime.
Let’s travel together.

Yoga is said to be the science of the human experience. Nourish your life experience!
Down south, we’ll dive deep into ecstatic morning yoga sessions and Ayurveda rejuvenation treatments overlooking the Arabian Sea. Explore the jungle Backwaters. Make a healing offering at a Kali Temple. Crack a coconut as an offering to Lord Ganesh. Then, on to the relaxing South India tour by bus. In Madurai, we will tour the local temples that tower over thousands of worshipers. In Thanjavur, we’ll explore royal palaces. In Chidambaram, we’ll walk through the only temple in India dedicated to Shiva as Nataraja. Then we’ll close the tour with a few days in French-inspired Puducherry and modern Chennai.
10 hours of Ayurvedic massage
You read that right. Ten hours of Ayurvedic massage and treatments like Shirodhara, Abhyanga, and Marma Chikitsa. That’s why we call the Kerala segment the Sacred Sap Retreat. Every journey should start in a calm, relaxed manner. Only then can we drop in and truly experience the beauty of India, and the beauty waiting within ourselves.
“You held the space while I cracked my heart over the spire of India, golden yolk, pure honey, forever changed, I feel the sway and surrender of the fisherman’s line, India is decisive yet not cut-throat, illuminating my inner peace by the way of love. There are no words, but here I try to find a meager few. Thank you! For a trip that takes one deeper down into their inner cave, where tangible life and heart merge, dance and celebrate.”
