Riotously decorated temples, vast coffee and tea plantations, luxuriant tropical forests, and lagoons canopied by coconut trees characterize southern India. Never subjected to the domination of the invaders who ruled the north, it has a truly Hindu flavor, permeated with a myriad of colonial influences.

The differences with northern India are striking and tangible in the distinctive, and delicious, food, differing alphabets, gentle nature of the people and exuberant monumental architecture.

South India is a delight to discover, and a rewarding destination for the second time visitor. The pace of the tour is busy, however, it is punctuated with dedicated time at leisure.
