South India Journey

a few places still available.

Main Tour: 16 January - 2 February 2020. We fly to Chennai (Madras) and work our way south by private bus, along the Coromandel Coast staying at: Mamallapuram, famed for its ancient rock-cut, seaside temples; Auroville, an amazing community, aspiring to be 'a universal town where men and women of all countries are able to live in peace and progressive harmony,' near the old French port of Pondicherry; Thanjavur, historic capital of the great Chola dynasty that produced unparalleled stone and bronze sculptures; SCAD (Social Change and Development) an Indian NGO near Tirunelveli, visiting educational, social and craft projects, gaining deeper insight into Tamil and Indian culture. And finally by train to Varkala, a resort on the Arabian Sea coast of Kerala, to relax by the ocean. Return flights to the UK are from Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum).

Kerala Extension: 2 - 8 February 2020. We travel north along Kerala’s Malabar Coast to Alleppey and board a comfortable barge for a two-night trip on the Backwaters, cruising past rice fields and villages, observing the rich bird-life. Then on to the spice-trading port of Kochi. Founded by the Portuguese and conquered by the British, it has older and newer districts including the bustling mainland town of Ernakulam and the quieter colonial town of Fort Cochin. Return international flights are from Kochi Airport. Prices including hotels, land transport, delicious South Indian veggie/vegan food and optional yoga classes: Main tour, 16 nights in India £1740.

Climate Care

Each time we take a flight or travel by car CO₂ is added into the atmosphere. One way we can help to reduce the impact is through carbon offsetting. Offsetting isn’t the answer to climate change. The first step should be to see how we can avoid and reduce emissions. However, some emissions can’t or won’t be avoided. That's where offsetting has a role to play. It’s a way of compensating for the emissions produced with an equivalent carbon saving. - You could consider donating to Trees for Life. It’s not directly a carbon offset provider, but a very worthwhile forest regeneration project in Scotland: www.treesforlife.org.uk or the Woodland Trust: www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/support-us/individual-carbon
