South India is a perfect place for inquisitive travellers. In one long journey, you will be sailing through the backwaters, exploring royal palaces, visiting old temples, enjoying local cuisines and sipping freshly brewed coffee if you wish. Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu have distinct characteristics and travel experiences.
You can either explore all three states together with customised South India tour package, or separately with their respective ones. The key is selecting the right travel plan. Keep reading this post to learn about what you can explore in these states and how.
Start Your Trip with the Exploration of Natural Beauty in Kerala
Kerala is usually the first choice for visitors seeking to experience the greener side of India at a slower pace. This state is highly famous for its backwaters, canal networks, hill stations, traditional culture, beaches, and wildlife.
Kochi (also called Cochin) is the best place to begin your Kerala trip. With its colonial-era streets, historic landmarks, and local markets, Cochin offers a glimpse of Kerala. After Cochin, you can proceed to Munnar, where you can experience the cool mountain air, walk through the green tea plantations and visit the natural scenic viewpoints. Alleppey is a good place to stay on a traditional houseboat, sail along the palm-lined backwaters, and interact with the locals. Personalised Kerala tour packages will help you explore more places and enjoy activities of your choice, with comfortable accommodation and local transfers.
Move to Karnataka for Hills and Heritage Sites
Heading to Karnataka lets you enjoy a change of scenery and a royal experience. This South Indian state features royal palaces, coastal landscapes, and lively cities, as well as lush coffee plantations.
Mysore (officially Mysuru) is the right place for your expedition if you love history, culture and architecture. The Mysore Palace is a symbol for travelers from all over the world as well as the local people. With customised Karnataka tour packages, choosing Coorg can offer a completely different experience. Coorg features forested landscapes, a relaxing hill-station ambiance, and dense coffee estates. Hampi is another destination for history and culture lovers. It is a combination of over 1,600 ancient ruins and the recognised Stone Chariot at the Vittala Temple.
Experience Spirituality and Living Heritage in Tamil Nadu
You must visit Tamil Nadu to add a new layer to your South India holiday. This southern state is popular for its centuries-old temples, Dravidian architecture, rich culture, and crystal-clear coastal areas. Its cities and towns, such as Madurai, Mahabalipuram, and Thanjavur, offer a rich mix of spirituality, traditional architecture, and history.
Personalised Tamil Nadu tour package can help you explore ancient magnificent temples. The Meenakshi Amman Temple is located in Madurai and is renowned for its intricate sculptures and towering gopurams. In Thanjavur, you can visit the famous Brihadisvara Temple (also known as the Brihadeeswara Temple). Mahabalipuram and Rameswaram feature stunning shore temples, Pallava-era architecture, and scenic coastal views. Adding Ooty can help you have a distinguished travel experience in this state.
Separate or Combined Plan – Which Should You Choose for Your South India Holiday?
A combined trip across the whole region is long, even if you choose a single theme for Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. Apart from the required time, you need to clarify what you actually want or expect. A tour advisor can suggest what to visit and where to go, along with a suitable holiday plan. However, it is you who can decide on a trip plan, whether as separate itineraries or a combined one for the entire region.
Travel to South India with Cholan Tours
After finalising the trip, whether it is a separate trip or a combined one, you need to consult a reliable tour operator. Cholan Tours is the India travel company you can rely on. With customised South India tour packages or a separate trip plan, its representatives will help you have a comfortable and memorable holiday in the country’s southern region.
