Roots of Ayurveda & Plants

There aren’t many places in the world, to which monsoon winds and the smell of spices brought more sea trading ships than to the Fort Cochin port and its part Mattancherry in Kerala! In one melting pot, oldest Hindu cults worshiped by Brahmins from different parts of India were mixed. In the 6th century, Arab merchants built the oldest Muslim mosque in India here. The oldest Jewish community in India settled here. The original Christian values preached by St. Thomas, not influenced by the Bible, which was brought here by Portuguese sailors only in the 15th century, remained here. Sailors such as Vasco de Gama, Saint Francis Xavier or traveler Niccolo de' Conti, who already in the 15th century said that "China is a great place to make money and Kochin to spend it! Tree major European powers, Portuguese, Dutch and English, captured Kochi and Forth, the French, came pretty close to it. And only few people know that in Kerala in 1958, the first communist government was democratically elected and is still in power.

NAMASTE

May our minds meet!

Art of Travel

When we greet one another with NAMASTE, it means, MAY OUR MINDS MEET! The real meeting between people is the meeting of their minds, that is why we would like to speak with you before you travel with us...

NAMASTE DEAR FRIENDS!

ART OF TRAVEL (When & Where to travel?) is based on a philosophy of three words: SPIRIT (Who to meet?), STORY (What to do?), STYLE (Where to stay?).

The price is available upon request. Rates vary depending on the time of the year and the number of people travelling, but also from your style!

....and by the way, do write us few sentences about you! Because NAMASTE could be just a casual or formal greeting, a cultural convention or an act of worship. However, there is much more to it than meets the eye. The real meeting between people is the meeting of their minds. When we greet one another with namaste, it means, ‘may our minds meet’, indicated by the folded palms placed before the chest. The bowing down of the head is a gracious form of extending friendship in love, respect and humility. We are looking forward to sharing our thoughts with you!
