If you start your journey in Fort Cochin you can have exclusive use of a very special 3-bedroom house, formally the Indian headquarters of the Dutch East India Company. It has been sensitively decorated with contemporary Indian artwork and antiques. Perfectly located within walking distance of the Fort, you can explore the charming town in your own time or with one of c+l’s knowledgeable guides.

Then head to a private house, tucked away on the edge of the backwaters. The delightful 2-villas can be taken exclusively or as 2 separate houses. Complete with private pool and serene landscaping there is no better way to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the gentle charm of South India. Fully staffed with a fantastic chef and your own rice barge to explore the peaceful backwaters.

In total contrast you drive up into the famous scenery of the Western Ghats with soaring, mist-covered mountains, dense jungle and an abundance of tea and spice plantations. Your final destination is Hill House, privately owned and built in the style of the old wooden houses unique to Kerala, its authentic interior gives all who stay an true homestay experience. There are just 3 large bedrooms and the owners are attentive hosts.
