I am a creative professional who loves to travel and experience places like a local. Currently I run a Bellydance School in two countries - India & The Netherlands, and I am also a certified Mat Pilates & Yoga Instructor. I love to share my passion for travel🧳✈️, dance💃, fitness🏃‍♀️ and Nutrition🥗 with others. So most of my trips are not just about exploring destinations but I also like to add activities related to overall health and wellbeing to them. 🛍️💅💆‍♀️🧘‍♀️ This trip will be spread across 5 Nights and 6 days where we will be staying in a Homestay (2 people per room) in a quaint town a few kilometers from the main Munnar town. The itinerary is as follows: September 18th, Sun - All tripmates have to reach Kochi International Airport around 9am as private transport will be arranged for us to take us to our Stay. The journey is 4 to 5 hours and is a beautiful drive through the hills. The rest of the day will be spent doing some fun activities where we can get to know each other and also discuss about the trip in the days to come. September 19th, Mon - A guided tour through a Spice Farm where we learn about the various locally grown spices as we walk through the beautiful landscape. The second half of the day is dedicated to an authentic Full Body Ayurvedic Spa experience. September 20th, Tues - We shall go down memory lane as we explore historic sights and spots with the help of a native. Anthony our guide speaks fluent English and will take us to places that are off the conventional tourist routes as well. September 21st, Wed - A cooking demonstration / workshop by one of the local women who will teach us to make traditional Kerala food using locally sourced and fresh ingredients. A real Farm to Table experience. The second half of the day, is dedicated to watching two of Kerala's beloved Cultural experiences - Kathakali (a traditional Folk Dance) and Kalarippayattu (An ancient martial arts form). Each of the shows will be an hour long and supports the local talent from the surrounding villages. September 22nd, Thurs - As the trip comes to an end, we will go back for another Ayurvedic Spa Session, a shorter and not so in depth one as the first time. We end the day with a Bonfire night where we can spend time interacting and sharing our experiences of the trip. September 23rd, Friday - Checkout is at 11am after which a private transport will be arranged to take you back to Kochi International Airport. NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT PART, APPROXIMATE COST BREAKDOWN OF THE TRIP (The costs are per tripmate)💷💵💳 -The total costs for the accommodation (6 Days & 5 Nights) will be 120 Euros. -We have a private vehicle booked specially for us not just for the journey to and from the airport, but through the entire duration of the trip. The Cost for the vehicle is 50 Euros. - The costs for all activities included in the trip (Ayurvedic Packages, Sightseeing, Spice Farm visit, Cooking workshop and Cultural shows) will be 55 Euros. Please note breakfast will be included in our stay, but we will have to pay for other meals (except the cooking workshop day) which on an average would not be more than 5 Euros per meal. Also any additional personal shopping will be on your own expense. A few more details about the trip: - We will be having a Yoga Session every morning (Mon to Fri) at 7am / 8am depending on what the group prefers. -Breakfast will be arranged every morning at the Homestay itself. - Normally Ayurveda is considered a treatment and a Vegetarian Diet is recommended, but there is no compulsion. - Alcohol is not easily available in Kerala and also not advisable to consume when following Ayurveda. - Please note that in the trip we will be consuming mostly Kerala Cuisine that can be customized (less spice, oil and so on). I will also take a general food allergy survey from all participants to avoid any health hazards. - Vegan options are possible in the local cuisine. Please note that because we are in a smaller town, foreign ingredients might be difficult to source. - For people looking to continue their visit post our trip in India, I would be happy to advise you or connect you to verified sources to help your journey ahead. - If you would like to buy anything (handicrafts, teas, spices, etc.) I will be happy to connect you to authentic and honest vendors.

Time to say Goodbye :( But not before a Yoga session and some delicious breakfast. We have a vehicle to take us back to Kochi International Airport. Please note that the airport is also a good point for you to continue your journey to other parts of Kerala or India if you plan to stay longer.
