About this trip
This tour moves between two of South India's most distinct states, taking in Kerala's backwaters and Karnataka's temple towns over two weeks. Expect a mix of quiet water journeys, old architecture and a slower pace built around culture rather than ticking off sights fast.
The route touches on the region's holy rivers, greenery and Ayurvedic tradition, with time built in for spas and wellness centres alongside the sightseeing. It's designed as a group trip but shaped around your interests, so the itinerary can flex to suit families or those travelling over Christmas and New Year.
