Swaswara hides in the lush, undeveloped west coast of India just south of Goa. Its spacious cottages have bedroom, writing area, internal courtyard, open-air shower, plenty of storage, and a back door leading through woods to the Arabian Sea. Ecology is taken seriously - water harvesting and recycling, home-grown rice.
Guests are encouraged to do exactly as they please, guilt-free - from sunrise yoga to following trails to hidden beaches, from lounging by the pool to consulting the Ayurvedic doctors for a more structured stay. Helping cook lunch is a must-do!
Swaswara buzzwords: peaceful, approving, informal, non-groupy

My 2020-2021 Small-group Tours will be suffused in wellness - it's what we need!
If you have not traveled with me before.....
please know that we experience great sights in the best possible way, with lots of add-on encounters and visits to off-beat places. We meet conservationists, curators, craftsmen and musicians, we walk with naturalists, we cook with local chefs.
In sum, we imbibe the essence of each area thanks to my four decades of studying and visiting India - and making great friends who I share with you.
I also create tailor-made trips to all corners of India, for all budgets, for all interests and special needs, for families and parties of friends, for business groups and for honeymoon couples - India is ideal for everyone!
