Singing in India

Where we sing - click on a region

Tropical breezes, colonial history and mountain wildlife

India is Authentic Adventures' newest destination. We've chosen Kerala, the maritime region along India's tropical south-west coast - it's a paradise for the visitor, and the warm yet gentle climate makes it a wonderful place to relax, to wander, to explore and to sing.

We begin and end our holidays in the seaport of Cochin, a spice trading centre since the 14th Century. When we're not singing, there will be a chance to explore the lagoons, canals and rivers on foot and by boat - you'll soon realise why Cochin has been dubbed the "Venice of the East". As always with Authentic Adventures holidays, our hand-picked local guides will add a depth of understanding you could never hope for as a conventional tourist.

From Cochin we travel inland and up into the spectacular Western Ghats, a 1000-mile long mountain range which rises to nearly 9000 feet. Among its peaks and valleys lies Periyar Tiger Reserve, whose extraordinary wildlife has made it one of India's most important nature reserves. From Periyar we go on to the hill town of Munnar, the centre of Kerala's beautiful tea region and once the favourite summer resort of India's colonial rulers.
