Make a trip of it
Around your stay at AyurSoma
The excursions and extra stays we arrange in Kerala, placed by when to take each — so a day out never lands on the wrong day of a treatment course.
Before you begin
Arrive early — see the country while you are fresh
Extra stay · 3 nights
Kochi & the backwaters
The obvious and correct opener: fort Kochi, a barge night, and an unhurried arrival into the time zone before anyone takes your pulse.
Nature · Overnight, or a half day
A night on the backwaters
A converted rice barge from Alleppey through the Kuttanad channels. The overnight is worth it; the three-hour version is a queue of identical boats.
Culture · Full day
Fort Kochi and Mattancherry
The Chinese fishing nets, the Paradesi synagogue, the Dutch Palace murals and a spice-market walk. Five hundred years of Portuguese, Dutch and Jewish Kochi in one walkable afternoon.
During the stay
Light enough for a rest day or a free afternoon
Your stay at AyurSoma · 7–21 nights by packageCulture · 3 hours
Kathakali, properly
Arrive an hour early to watch the make-up go on — it is the better half. Ask us for the Kochi hall that still plays to Malayali audiences rather than the tourist matinée.
Culture · 2 hours
The oil kitchen and the pharmacy
At the houses that still compound their own preparations, ask to be shown the room. Most will say yes and few guests think to ask. It is the single most convincing hour of the fortnight.
After you finish
The reward, once the treatment is done
Extra stay · 5 nights
The Golden Triangle
Delhi, Agra and Jaipur on the way home. Long flights internally and worth every one of them if it is a first trip to India.
Extra stay · 4 nights
Tamil Nadu temples
Madurai, Thanjavur and Chettinad — the living Dravidian south, three hours east and a different civilisation.
Nature · Full day, or two nights
A tea estate day in Munnar
Four hours up from Kochi into the Western Ghats at 1,600 m. Genuinely cold, entirely different country. Too far and too long for a treatment rest day — take it before or after.
Nature · Two nights
Periyar, for the elephants
A tiger reserve where you will not see a tiger and will see elephant, gaur and hornbill. A boat on the lake at dawn is the version worth doing.
