Overview
To explore the nature of southern India, we have organized a splendid south India tour of 2 states, namely Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Exploring these states, we get an excellent opportunity to soak in the rich culture and magnificent landscapes. Though Kerala sees much more tourists than Tamily Nadu, this is state presents a tourist spot as we move from the coastal plains to the extraordinary Western Ghats hills. This state forms the border with Kerala. Our trip takes us to explore the impressive South India sites, including Pondicherry’s former French colony and Madurai’s breathtaking Sri Meenakshi Temple. Enjoy cycling through the tea estates and highlands of Western Ghats. Thereafter, we will arrive at Kerala beaches, where you will enjoy relaxing on a houseboat cruise.
