Day 12:
Arriving a little later than scheduled, which was a blessing given our scheduled 5am arrival, Goa was just in first light as our pickup greeted us, even with our name on a sign!
An hours journey brought us to the coast and our final host for the tour, and it’s certainly well positioned, right on the beach with little huts and porches to enjoy the sunshine from.
A very slow day ensued with swims, naps and a little bit of indulgent eating, including quite the smoothie bowl!
Come the evening we were entertained by live beach music and a welcome dinner to match! A little stay in paradise for us all.
Planning to go traveling can be quite the headache, from country to region, POI’s and routes of travel. With my tours all of that is taken care of, you’d need only be sure you’re ready for the adventure! Check out my upcoming retreat to the Himalayas on my website:

Day 4:
A very early start set us up for a long road trip ahead from Fort Kochi to Wayanad. So early it was two hours before we got a sunrise!
We made a stop off for breakfast at a chai stall by the side of the road, a couple of us indulged while the rest opted for makeshift coffees using 3in1 and some hot water from the stall (video attached).
Snacks were a plenty as we journeyed further north and by lunchtime we were but an hour from our destination. That didn’t stop another wonderful thali meal!
The final few kilometers were traversed by Jeep due to the poor road conditions, which made for a rather bumpy and rattling ride!

Day 2:
What a day we had! Starting off early we headed to Fort Kochi’s largest public launderette, where everything is done by hand! So of course we had to get Ruby practicing 😉
From there we visited a liquor store and did our best to order beers and the like through a prison-like cell window.
Then, via a slightly precarious plank crossing between vessels, we boarded a Kerelan house boat and cruises through the backwaters. Palms, fishermen, snake boat races and a traditional thali banana leaf lunch kept us comfortably busy.
Truly a beautiful day surrounded by calm waters and the daily lives of those whom live upon the waterways

Expect to learn about Tibetan Diaspora in India, Buddhism and sustainable living.
Expect hiking, staggering mountains, breath-taking views and mindful movement.
Expect to explore Buddhist monasteries and chat to meditating monks.
Expect to volunteer with Tibetan refugees. Expect team games and challenges.
Expect to explore Indian subcultures and village customs.
Expect to meditate and go deep within your own mind.
Expect a life changing, humbling experience.
Expect to be led by two enthusiastic guides who have 6 years combined experience travelling in India, and over 20 years of world travel between them.
