It is so easy to rush around India, ticking off the main highlights and dash off to the next destination. However, we believe that there is more to India than its monuments, in our less is more collection of itineraries, we give you that space, add a night in each destination allowing you the time to discover that little bit more that interests you whether that be the food, the people, the art or just allowing you to have some time to relax! This itinerary takes in three completely different destinations, the fascinating town of Cochin, with its multitude of influences from British to Dutch to Portuguese to Indian!  A new café scene has recently emerged and there are some charming art galleries too. Delve deeper into the backwaters than a day cruise or limited overnight cruise can allow for, a longer journey allows you to venture off the beaten path and discover a Backwaters that remains unspoiled. At the end, spend time relaxing at the beach, stroll along at sunset, try yoga in the morning, this is all about doing as much or as little as you would like!
