Home to cultural charm, spiritual richness, historical significance, and steeped in ancient tradition, the south of India is a magical adventure with treasures at every turn. Enjoy the delicious cuisine, bask in the awe of the massive temple complexes, and bathe in the famous Agni Theertham in one of the holiest cities in India - Rameshwaram. Travel to the “edge of India” and watch the sun rise over the sand bridge that used to connect India to Sri Lanka. Enjoy rooftop dining overlooking the Bay of Bengal and step into lush tea plantations in the mountains of Tamil Nadu. Visit the tomb of St. Thomas - the patron saint of India and explore the 7th century complex of religious monuments designated by UNESCO as a world heritage site in Mahabalipuram. See firsthand the crafts of Tanjore - the making and firing of bronze statues in 1500 degree “ovens” in the ground. Then, we’ll drive through the tropical rainforest of Kerala, board a houseboat for dinner at the edge of Lake Vembanad - the 2nd largest freshwater lake in India - and be dropped off at our Ayurvedic Spa and Resort for our 5-day Yoga, Meditation and Ayurveda retreat. An immersion in the rejuvenating and renewing therapies of massage, body work and oil therapy are sure to add years to your life and enjoyment to your spiritual journey.

Testimonials from previous South India participants
“This was my second trip to India with Luke, and it was even better than the last!! The variety of sights and activities was excellent, the pace was comfortable, the group convivial, the lodgings and food outstanding. Everything seemed to flow smoothly, even with multiple “tweaks” to the itinerary skillfully made on the fly to accommodate the unexpected and travelers’ preferences. The fact Luke and his team were able to guide thirteen people and keep all of them happy is truly remarkable! I can’t thank you enough for all you did and providing such a wonderful experience. ”
“My South India experience was nothing but amazing! The beauty and universal spirituality of this part of the world is stunning and transformative. I will forever remember the warm and inquisitive Indian people I met and the beautiful and varied landscape of the country.
Thank you, Luke, for such an amazing journey. My heart and soul needed it, and both were fulfilled.”
“If you are looking for a stress-free first trip to India, go with Luke! A perfect balance of culture, history, and everyday life in India with time built in for reflection and relaxation.”
