“The roots of Ayurveda go deep into the soil of Kerala, where it was practiced as far back as 5000 years ago. The land blessed by Gods offers healing power of nature – the tranquil ocean coast, the lush green backwaters, the mountains covered by mists and myths, which add colour and depth to its vibrant history. Ayurveda is lifestyle in Kerala.”

~ Dr.Venugopal V.A.

What is ayurveda?
.
"In Sanskrit the word Ayurveda means Science of Life & Caraka is a term for a wandering scholars. For us Ayurveda is also symbol of personal evolution, the way how we can heal our body, mind & soul. It is a quest for the right journey to reach a balance between human beings and nature."

.

Ayurveda is a science of life. It does not deal only with treating patients and their diseases. It has a far more supreme goal - to bring about understanding of what a human being is in his true nature. It makes one understand that everything we need, we already have. The five elements, from which everything is composed: earth, water, fire, air and space, can provide us with all the energy we need for our life. This energy was given to us freely by nature.

"Art of Travel" is based on a philosophy of three words:
.

SPIRIT TO DISCOVER

Ayurveda is a science of life and it is a spiritual science. It does not deal with treating patients and their diseases. It has a far more supreme goal - to bring about understanding of what a human being is in his true nature. It makes one understand that everything we need, we already have. The five elements, from which everything is composed: earth, water, fire, air and space, can provide us with all the energy we need for our life. This energy was given to us freely by nature. Ayurveda is Indian secret of health, youth and beauty

 Open yourself to healing power of nature, let her touch your soul, talk to your mind and cure your body.

What makes people extraordinary is their spirit! Spirit is inspiring energy present in every creative activity. We are discovering people, whose spirit can inspire others. They are artists, photographers, historians, ayurveda doctors, yoga teachers, spiritual experts, astrologers, ecologists, travelers, simply everyone. Spirits are our local experts who share their stories with us and based on them we arrange your travel in style!

STORY TO SHARE

Life is like a book of mysteries, which we do not understand if we do not travel. Stories written by our local experts are transformed into the trails, which connect not only places on the map, but also creating meaningful connections with local people, who make your travel stories to come alive! Trails are the journeys to rediscover old routes and to explore new ones. Lets write new chapter inspired by local history, art and myths!

STYLE TO EXPERIENCE

Style does not mean luxury, it is experience. It does not matter if you stay in boutique hotel or in tree house, if you dine in awarded restaurant or eat sandwich on the street, because your choice makes you special. Your individual style is your artistic signature, which makes journey different for each person, and we respect these differences. Experiences in style make your travel authentic, different and real; from them memories are made of!

TEST 2017

"Everything being a constant carnival, there is no carnival left."
VICTOR HUGO

.

.

In 1984, three youngsters from Cochin – George Augustine Thundiparambil (Roy), Ananda Felix Scaria (Ananda Surya) and Antony Anup Scaria (Anoop) decided to organise a month-long grand public event to celebrate the signing of a UN proclamation declaring 1985 as the International Youth Year. They announced the Beach Festival with a grand programme at the Mahatma Gandhi beach.

.

More than 150 youth groups representing different clubs and organisations pooled in their resources and ideas for the event. Although the Carnival, as in its current avatar, was not in the original programme, it was added at a later stage. This spectacular event started during the second week of December 1984 with a cycle race followed by other local ethnic games like tug of war, kuttiyum kolum, kabaddi, chakku (jute bag) race, swimming in the sea etc. Music concerts, dance performances and plays were conducted on the beach. The event ended on January 1, 1985 (International Youth Year) with a procession of various cultural representations from all over India called Carnivale Cochin.

HIJRA - Dressed in glittering saris, their faces painted with bright make up, a group of women gather outside an Indian temple to offer blessings to visitors. They are hijras, the term used to describe cross dressers, intersex people and transgender women who make up the country's third gender. While some of the men are castrated in their journey to become hijras, for many the transformation is a primarily spiritual one. A number undertake a 40-day self-emasculation ritual in the name of the Hindu goddess of Bachuchara Mata. Their communities across south-east Asia date back more than 4,000 years and they appear in ancient texts as bearers of luck and fertility. But while for centuries they were sought after to perform blessings and ceremonies, their long-standing religious respect has not protected the hijra from modern-day discrimination. Widespread prejudice means that it can often be difficult for hijras to find permanent homes - and they are often driven to live in communes on the fringes of society. More (soon) →

NAMASTE

In Asian culture, people greet each other by joining their palms and termed as 'Namaste' or more politely 'Namaskar'.  When we greet one another with Namaste, it means, 'may our minds meet'! The real meeting between people is the meeting of their minds!

"I shambled after as I've been doing all my life after people who interest me,
because the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk,
mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a common place thing,
but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes Awww!"
(Jack Keruac - On the Road)
