Wonders of the South

Service Description

Sita Retreats is unlike other tour companies. We like to keep group sizes small, we prefer "off the beaten track" destinations and choose mostly family run, boutique, and wherever possible, eco hotels. Specialising for the last ten years only in India travel - we aim to give you an authentic 'hands-on' experience of India's extraordinary culture, spirituality, history and wildlife. We like to keep our tours as relaxed as possible and aim to give you the sense of adventure, freedom and wonder you would experience as an independent traveler. Perhaps this is why most of our travellers have come back with us a second time. Join us on a journey of a lifetime that takes you from Kerala, via the wonders of Hampi to the golden shores of south Goa. The first half of this 14 night adventure is spent in north Kerala where you will experience the romance of Fort Cochin - with it’s fascinating blend of Dutch, French and British colonial history; before exploring the verdant beauty of the backwaters during a day and night on a traditional houseboat. You then head to the remote beaches of Neeleshwar before a stay on a coffee plantation in the Wayanad Highlands. A highlight of your journey will be 3 nights staying at an eco retreat nestled by the Tungabadra river in the ancient kingdom of Hampi. Your journey ends on one of Goa's most beautiful beaches, an area famous for its nesting turtles, yoga and deserted palm fringed sands where we stay in a stylish eco-resort just yards from the sea comprehensive tour. Delve into the region’s unique traditions and witness the spectacular landscapes that surround these vibrant communities. Book your adventure today!
