Our new India tour combines yoga and meditation with the wonders of South India. The tour leader, Padma, is an internationally renowned television yoga instructor. The program features a three-day yoga and meditation retreat in a seaside resort overlooking a white, sandy beach on the Arabian Sea.
We will go to the bustling port of Kochi, a former British hill station resort surrounded by tea, coffee and cardamom plantations, a luxurious houseboat cruise through picturesque canals and lagoons, and an excursion to Madurai, South India’s oldest continuously inhabited city.
Other tour highlights will be a visit to India’s oldest Jewish Synagogue, built in 1568 and a spectacular Kathakali Dance performance with a behind-the-scenes look at the dancers having their faces painted before the show.
On the Bay of Bengal, we will explore the many ancient granite carvings in Mahabalipuram, one of the seven most holy places for Hindus in India, as well as nearby Kanchipuram, the “Golden City of a Thousand Temples,” some of which date back to the 7th century.
Most days include scheduled yoga and meditation times, and each group member may also have a private one-on-one meditation consultation with Padma.
