South India, surrounded by three oceans, is a land of temples and the devout with overwhelming grandeur and pristine beauty.
As the southern culture evolved millennia before the modern State borders did, there is a racial, cultural and linguistic homogeneity here that make visitors refer to the four major southern states together simply as "South India", though mistakenly. In spite of the seeming similarity, each State has different scenery, festival, architecture and subtle cultural variations to offer, each State in its own right a fascinating tourist destination.
Are you a culture seeker? Are you a nature lover? Are you a wildlife enthusiast? Are you a sun worshipper? South India has:-
- An enchanting cultural history told through palaces, temples, art and architecture for the culture seeker.
- Backwater towns and sylvan hill stations for the nature lover.
- Exotic wildlife and cozy jungle lodges for the wildlife enthusiast.
- Seductive beaches for the sun worshipper.
