Singing holiday

India • Kerala • Colours and culture tour

Natural harmonies
An inspirational tour of Kerala's four distinct regions. As ever, the days will be spent singing in the morning with optional guided walking excursions in the afternoon. There will often be a sing before dinner and wherever possible we will share time with local musicians.

Some of our days

Arrival day

Transfer from Cochin airport to our first hotel in The Backwaters region.

The Backwaters

A four-night stay with three days spent on the very edge of the lagoon with time to discover the canal systems on foot and by boat.

Periyar Tiger Reserve

A four-night stay with time to discover the town of Thekaddy and the surrounding spice gardens filled with cardamom, pepper, fenugreek and cinnamon. A free day is included with one option being a trek in the Tiger Reserve.

The Western Ghats

A 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 Cochin

A 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, spectacular Chinese fishing nets and the burial place of Vasco de Gama are a few of the fascinating features. Good shopping.

Departure day

A short transfer from our hotel to Cochin airport.
