The Goubert market at Pondicherry was built just a stone throw off the "white town". Not too far to be an inconvenience and not too close to get the noise and the smell of the fish and meat market. Still the market is one of the most lively and colourful in South India. Especially the flower section is a oasis on it's own. If in Pondicherry the best stays are the cghearth Palais de Mahe or the homestay like Maison Perumal. #meandcghearth #meditation #travelphotography #transformation #travel #kerala #keralatourism #india #experience #explore #lovefortravel #loveforlife #naturephotography #nature #natgeo #transformation #tamilnadu #pondicherry

Spending time at one of our butterfly gardens invariably turns into a blissful state of meditation. Love the peace these delicate, small and fragile winged beauties instill on my soul. Truly a soulful experience in the lap of nature. #meandcghearth #meditation #travelphotography #transformation #travel #kerala #keralatourism #india #experience #explore #lovefortravel #loveforlife #naturephotography #nature #natgeo #fragile #beauty #beatgermann #butterflies #mararibeach #ecotravel #ecofriendly #sustainable #sustainablelifestyle #cghearth

Roof thatch at Spice Village is one of the earliest community based initiative in Kerala. As early as 1991 decided the owners of cghearth to change the concept of conventional hotel construction to a more inclusive environment and community development project. To cover the buildings a grass thatch method was adopted to provide jobs to the local communities. Till today the project is of a threefold nature. A) providing local jobs. B) supporting the Tiger reserve by sourcing grass and enabling fire corridors. C) no air conditioning was needed because of the insulation qualities of the roof. #meandcghearth #meditation #travelphotography #transformation #travel #kerala #keralatourism #india #experience #explore #lovefortravel #loveforlife #ecosensitivity #community #communitytourism #goodtotheearth #respect #naturephotography #nature #natgeo

The Saddhu. Its not often one meets one of these ascetic pilgrims in cities nowadays. They are not the fakes that linger around tourist spots posing for pictures and asking money. This beautiful clean holy man with his bowl did not even ask for alms. People stepped out of stores to offer it. Such was the power of his gentle eyes. Could not find a better picture to celebrate Easter, the day of resurrection from our worldly attachments. May we all take a step towards a more collective, loving and respectful approach to all living beings and mother earth. #meandcghearth #meditation #travelphotography #transformation #travel #humilty #respect #love #peace #easter #earth #lovefortravel #loveforlife #globalpeace #india #experience #explore #sahajayoga

Full moon at Marari Beach. Chatting up with 2 cute friendly dogs. Peaceful and calm. Just the sea, the friendly dogs and me. #meandcghearth #meditation #travelphotography #transformation #travel #kerala #keralatourism #india #experience #explore #lovefortravel #loveforlife #naturephotography #nature #natgeo #cghearth #fullmoon #night #sea
