Meditations in a myriad of colours Some of our daysArrival dayTransfer from Cochin airport to our first hotel in The Backwaters region. The BackwatersA four-night stay with three days spent capturing the varied and colourful waterside locations. Periyar Tiger ReserveA four-night stay with one day sitting amidst cardamom, pepper, fenugreek and cinnamon in the spice gardens and another recording the local town and life along the river. A free day is included with one option being a trek in the Tiger Reserve. The Western GhatsA three-night stay in the hill-station of Munnar. At 1,500 metres, this vibrant small town is set amidst the lush, green tea gardens that contour the landscape.
Fort CochinA two-night stay on the ancient headland that separates The Backwaters from the Indian Ocean. This old European settlement and the many wonderful buildings remind us of its rich colonial past. A wonderful old synagogue, fantastical Chinese fishing nets and the burial place of Vasco de Gama are a few of the facinating features. Good shopping. Departure dayA short transfer from our hotel to Cochin airport.
