From The Himalayas To The Sea
Offer Valid From March to April 2024
The internationally renowned Neeleshwar Hermitage is situated on the best beach in Kerala, charmingly set in a tropical paradise garden that fronts the Arabian Sea. Tasteful traditional architecture, delicious food and quietly attentive service, together with the healing arts of yoga and Ayurveda and the genuine friendliness of the staff, combine to ensure that you will never forget your timeless time with us. In addition, the Lotus houseboat offers journeys through the languid backwaters of northern Kerala, with fine dining, relaxation and a chance to experience the undisturbed rural life of the area and meet its people.
In Kashmir, a very different experience awaits you. Towering mountains and ancient pine forests combine to create a majestic natural setting in which centuries-old traditions of arts and craftmanship, inspired by the subtle genius of Sufism and combining native Indian traditions with Afghan and Persian styles, have continued to flourish. Relax on the Sukoon houseboat, enjoying the elegance of a time gone by, wander in the bazaars to see the skill of local artists, carpet weavers and woodcarvers, enjoy trekking amidst the breathtaking beauty of the unspoiled valley. Once experienced, the real Kashmir will never leave you...
