Inspiring Women Travel Experiences

Empowered Journeys – Journey through Kerala with the women who shape its soul

Kerala, the only Indian state with a positive sex ratio, stands as a beacon of women’s empowerment. Rooted in strong matrilineal traditions and shaped by a progressive social framework, the state is home to countless women whose quiet strength and resilience influence every facet of life—from farming and fishing to art, activism, and enterprise.

Ekathra’s Women’s Tour is a journey into the lives of these everyday heroines. It offers travellers a rare opportunity to meet and engage with women from diverse backgrounds, gaining insights into their experiences, challenges, and triumphs. The stories of Kerala take on a new depth when shared through the voices of its women—each one adding nuance, richness, and inspiration.

This is not a curated show of empowerment, but an honest immersion into real lives and real change. From the skilled weavers of Chendamangalam reviving heritage looms, to members of Haritha Karma Sena leading waste management solutions across villages, you’ll witness how women are redefining Kerala’s ecological and social landscape.

Spend time with Kudumbashree collectives—Asia’s largest women-led network—who run thriving local enterprises from organic farms to garment units. Join them in daily tasks: cook a traditional meal, roll handmade incense sticks, or try weaving or crafting under their guidance.

You’ll also meet storytellers, naturalists, guides, and eco-tourism leaders across Kerala—each offering fresh perspectives and meaningful connections. These interactions foster mutual learning and open-hearted dialogue, where both guests and hosts grow through shared experience.

Designed with care for safety, sustainability, and cultural respect, this tour provides solo and group travellers a nurturing space to explore Kerala through a gender-aware lens. With Ekathra, every encounter becomes a tribute to the enduring spirit of women—rooted, rising, and radiant.
