Enchanting Kerala - 4–15 February 2027

Have you always dreamed of visiting India, but never quite found the courage to go?

With us, discovering India is easy, safe and relaxed. We’ll take you beyond the usual tourist routes to beautiful tea plantations, peaceful backwaters, vibrant local culture and unforgettable experiences that most visitors never get to see.

You don’t need to be an experienced traveller to join us. Many of our guests travel on their own and are visiting India for the very first time. Our groups are small, friendly and welcoming, so it’s easy to get to know everyone. We travel together, look after each other and make sure nobody ever feels left behind. From the moment you arrive until it’s time to fly home, you’ll always have experienced tour leaders by your side.

This journey isn’t just for craft lovers. While we’ll experience Kerala’s rich traditions and local artisans, the real focus is on discovering an incredible part of India in a comfortable, inspiring and authentic way.

Our tours are organised together with The Craft Travel Company, and we’ve been creating unforgettable journeys to India since 2018.
