Follow Lisa and Rob on their adventure to Kerala, India!

Lisa and Rob have decided to switch things up at 60 years of age and go out on a limb by travelling to Kerala, India for 6 months. Their journey to India will allow Lisa to extend her knowledge in Ayurvedic nutrition at the source and continue her yoga training and spiritual pursuits. Rob's lifelong passions outside of Health and Safety management are travelling to remote locations and cooking. This trip will allow him to study the culinary cuisine of Kerala. They have always had a dream to open a home stay in an exotic location. They're hoping this trip will pave the way to turning that dream into a reality.

Darjeeling, West Bengal

We are in Darjeeling which lies in the northern part of West Bengal and neighbours Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal and Bangladesh , lying at an altitude of 2200 meters or 7200 feet. Views of the 3rd highest mountain in the world, Kanchenjunga, at 8600 meters or 28,200 feet, can be seen when the weather gods permit.  

Pretty much everything needs to be carried up the many winding and sometimes steep lane ways.
A strap for your forehead attached to some rope is all that is required to lug anything.
After several days waiting for the clouds to dissipate, we have decided to go north into Sikkim in pursuit of the awe inspiring Himalayan mountain vistas we know are there.
Hoping to share these with soon.
