Meeting and assistance at the Pier and start your tour in a vehicle to a legendary port town near Kochi, the heart of the historic Spice Route, vanished off the grid over 3000 years ago, called Muziris named by ancient spice traders. Explore an archaeological site where 3000-year-old artifacts, from the land that is now Israel, have been uncovered.
 
Visit the Chendamangalam and Paravur synagogues built nearly 1,000 years ago by Jewish traders.
 
We can also cover Paliath Museum and Pattanam excavations. See homes and markets of Jewish families and their Brahmin neighbors. Examine the 1269 tombstone of Sara bat Israel, the oldest in India. If time and energy allow, explore an ancient Jewish cemetery near Muziris, hidden and untouched for centuries.
