A Journey Through the Soul of South India
Step off the beaten path and into the heart of South India – where landscapes whisper, temples hum with life, and every city has a story to tell.
From the southernmost tip of the subcontinent to Kerala’s lush green hills, we follow a single thread: the energy of the feminine in all its forms – powerful, creative, intuitive, and deeply rooted.
Each stop is an invitation to immerse yourself in the spirit of India – blending spirituality, nature, and living culture – in the intimacy of a small group and at a pace that feels both fluid and inspiring.
Over two unforgettable weeks, we journey through India like a living, breathing body:
from sacred Kanyakumari, where three seas meet, to Rameshwaram, the island of purification;
from the devotion-filled corridors of Madurai’s Meenakshi Temple to the tea-clad hills of Munnar;
from the gentle shores of Kochi to the vibrant pulse of the Bharani Festival in Kodungallur.
This is an outward and inward journey—a pilgrimage woven with sacred places, meaningful encounters, timeless Hindu stories, and moments of rest, reflection, and nature.
For those wishing to deepen the experience, a 7-day extension invites you to:
Amritapuri – the serene ashram of Amma, the loving embodiment of the feminine;
Munroe Island – a quiet, intimate journey through Kerala’s backwaters;
Varkala – a final embrace of the ocean, relaxation, and gentle integration before returning home.
Witness a magical sunset where three seas meet at India’s southernmost tip, in Kanyakumari—a place of deep symbolism and serenity.
Walk barefoot through the sacred corridors of Rameshwaram, one of India’s twelve Jyotirlinga shrines, where legends and devotion meet.
Experience the grandeur of Madurai’s Meenakshi Temple, alive with rituals, colors, and temple musicians echoing centuries of faith.
Take a guided walk through tea gardens in Munnar and breathe in the quiet beauty of Kerala’s hills.
Discover the ancient storytelling of Kathakali dance in Kochi, where expressions speak louder than words.
Immerse yourself in the raw intensity of the Kodungallur Bharani festival—a rare, powerful encounter with living tradition.

With a deep love for India and its sacred traditions, I’m here to guide you gently through this journey — translating not just the language, but the spirit of the culture.
I’m especially passionate about sharing the myths of the gods and goddesses, the depth of Indian philosophy, and practices like yoga, pranayama, meditation, and Ayurveda. My aim is to help you feel the vibrant, powerful energy of India — not as a spectator, but as a participant.
Through presence, care, and authenticity, I create space for connection, insight, and transformation — always with a heart open to beauty and truth.

Veer
– traveler, cultural curator, storyteller, and seeker of truth –
After graduating in Technology in Delhi, I stepped away from the corporate world to follow a deeper calling: to explore the world and create journeys that awaken the soul.
Living across three countries and traveling through more than 20 has taught me that true adventure lies not just in places, but in the connections we make along the way — with people, traditions, and ourselves.
Through The Sangha Project, I co-create transformative experiences that blend eco-conscious travel, ancient wisdom, and meaningful cultural exchange. These journeys are invitations — to slow down, to listen deeply, and to rediscover the sacred in the everyday.
Let’s walk this path together — with curiosity, with intention, and with open hearts.
