About the Tour:

Bound by the Bay of Bengal in the east, the Arabian Sea in the west and the Indian Ocean in the south, South India is a land of colorful culture, rich heritage, and unmatched hospitality. A diverse region with two mountain ranges bordering the plateau heartland, during its history, a number of dynastic kingdoms ruled over parts of South India, and the Muslim conquests in the Indian subcontinent across southern Asia affected the area’s history and culture. South India offers incredible attractions to enhance your tour with first-class memories. From houseboats to rubber plantations, from silk saris to wildlife, from temples to mansions, from folkoore theater to tea gardens, our South India tour has a variety of experiences to enjoy.
