South India Holidays

South India Holiday Package Duration - 09 Days / 08 Nights

South India - Places of tourist interest in South India are located within short distances, and offer plenty of variety. You can start your trip from India's throbbing silicon capital, Bangalore, and head for the cool expanse of the coffee plantations and the wild life parks in Coorg. And before you drive to Ooty in the Nilgiris, a halt at Mysore will take you back to the lifestyle of the royals in Mysore and Srirangapatnam.

However, no trip to South India is complete without a visit to one of its ancient temples. A stopover at Madurai, the seat of Tamil culture in that context is mandatory. The towering gopuram of the Meenakshi Sundareswara temple is symbolic of the town, and one of India's most famous architectural landmarks.
