Next there's a a visit to a herbal plantation where you will have the opportunity to learn all you could ever want to know from your experienced tour guide, before moving on to visit a few other popular sights of the area such as an oil extraction centre to watch how this fascinating process is carried out and the khadi handloom centre where you can view locals working hard at their craft and learn more about what they do.

At the end of an enlightening tour your guide will escort you to your air-conditioned transport for your transfer back to the ship where you relax and reflect on a day filled with cultural enrichment.
