ABOUT THIS JOURNEY

Overview

Discover Kerala’s celebrated wellness tradition on this 12 Nights / 13 Days Land of Ayurveda Tour, reconstructed from a strong exact legacy itinerary built around Mumbai, Kochi, a seven-night Ayurveda retreat near Marari Beach, a private Kerala backwater houseboat and a final cultural evening in Kochi. Begin with Mumbai sightseeing before flying south to Kochi for Fort Kochi, Mattancherry and the city’s layered maritime heritage. Continue to a Kerala Tourism-listed or suitably classified Ayurveda retreat in the Marari/Alappuzha region, where the wellness programme begins with a consultation by a qualified Ayurveda doctor and all therapies, diet guidance, yoga or meditation are personalised according to the guest’s assessment and the confirmed retreat plan. After seven retreat nights, board a traditional houseboat for a peaceful cruise through Kerala’s backwaters, return to Kochi for a Kathakali cultural performance and then fly back to Mumbai for departure. The original Saar Holidays page is currently unavailable, so the programme is recovered from a strong exact legacy “The Land of Ayurveda” 13-day itinerary and professionally modernised for present-day wellness-tourism standards. Kerala Tourism classifies Ayurveda centres as Ayur Silver, Ayur Gold and Ayur Diamond and currently lists approved centres in the Marari region. This package is positioned as a wellness holiday and does not promise diagnosis, cure or medical outcomes; any treatment, internal medicine or dietary restriction must be decided by the qualified practitioner after consultation.
