Southern India & Kerala travel

A journey to South India is to experience the heart of Hinduism and the several-thousand-year-old Dravidian culture. This southern triangle promises a stay focused on culture, spirituality and spice gardens. Kerala, so green, its tropical climate and pepper having drawn Vasco da Gama to the Malabar Coast in 1498. Tamil Nadu: its religious fervour, the fabrics spun from Madurai to Chennai, its former trading posts, Karaikal and Puducherry, and Bharatanatyam, the classical Indian dance. Karnataka, an open-air museum with its UNESCO-listed temples, cafe plantations, and sandalwood – a vital component of religious rituals. Not forgetting Hampi and Badami.
