Make the ‘most’ of the best of all that south India has on offer. Right from the temple towns to the modern cities, from the lush green rain forests to the ever-fascinating beaches, from the labyrinth of backwaters to the land of spices and the tea gardens, all that’s exotic about this part of the continent, in the spirit of truly Indian hospitality and flavours and all at a pace that doesn’t take away the most important factor ‘relaxation’ out of your holiday!
The essence of this tour is India presented in its variety and contrasts, which cant be missed as you move from one destination to another, totally different from the other, and these are not too far away from each other considering you travel to most of them by surface, distances averaging between 100 – 200 Kms. Some of these drives in north as well as south Kerela, are specially interesting like the ones in the Coorg – Kadavu region or the one upto Munnar, beautified by lush green tea plantations, which makes it one of the most picturesque journeys that one would experience in this part of the God’s own country.
