- JJurich· March 8th, 2024South India Tour Package that included a visit to Chennai, Kanchipuram, Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry, Thanjavur, and Trichy. The tour was organized by a reputable travel company and included all meals, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Our journey began in Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu. The city was bustling with people and I was immediately captivated by its vibrant culture and rich history. Our tour guide took us to some of the must-see attractions such as the Marina Beach, Fort St. George, and the Kapaleeshwarar Temple. We also got the chance to try some mouth-watering South Indian cuisine in Chennai, which was an absolute treat for the taste buds. Next on the itinerary was Kanchipuram, known as the 'Golden City of a Thousand Temples'. This ancient city is famous for its silk sarees and beautiful temples, which we got to explore. The Kamakshi Amman Temple and the Kailasanathar Temple were the highlights of our visit to Kanchipuram. We also had the opportunity to witness the traditional process of silk weaving, which was a unique experience. Mahabalipuram was our next stop, and it was a true delight. The stunning Shore Temple, Pancha Rathas, and the rock-cut caves were some of the architectural wonders that we got to see. The town also had a charming beach where we enjoyed a peaceful evening watching the sunset. Pondicherry, a former French colony, was a pleasant change from the other cities. The French Quarter with its colorful buildings and old-world charm was a photographer's paradise. We also visited the famous Aurobindo Ashram and enjoyed a relaxing walk along the Promenade Beach. Thanjavur, also known as the 'Rice Bowl of Tamil Nadu', was a fascinating blend of history and culture. We visited the Brihadeeswarar Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and learned about its rich history. The city is also known for its intricate Tanjore paintings, and we got to see some beautiful pieces of art. Our last stop was Trichy, a city with a rich past and a vibrant present. The Rockfort temple, perched on a 273 feet high rock, was a sight to behold. We also visited the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, one of the largest functioning Hindu temples in the world. The city also had a bustling market where we picked up some souvenirs to take back home. Throughout the tour, we were treated to delicious South Indian meals. From idlis and dosas to biryanis and curries, the food was always flavorful and authentic. Our tour guide also made sure to introduce us to some local delicacies, which added to the overall cultural experience. Overall, the South India Tour Package with Chennai, Kanchipuram, Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry, Thanjavur, and Trichy was a memorable and enriching experience. The itinerary was well-planned, the accommodations were comfortable, and the meals were delicious. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore the beautiful and diverse region of South India.Show moreTrip date: March 2024
- JJemmey· February 1st, 2024We had the pleasure of going on a South India Tour Package that included visits to Chennai, Kanchipuram, Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry, Thanjavur, and Trichy. I was blown away by the beauty, history, and culture of these cities, and I have to say, the meals included in the package were the icing on the cake. Our tour started in Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu. We were greeted by our friendly guide who took us to our hotel and helped us settle in. The next morning, we were off to explore the city. From the stunning Marina Beach to the vibrant markets, Chennai was a treat for all the senses. The highlight of our day was the delicious South Indian meal we had for lunch. The flavors were unlike anything I had tasted before, and the use of local ingredients made it even more special. The next stop on our tour was Kanchipuram, known as the 'City of Thousand Temples'. Our guide took us to some of the most famous temples in the city, and each one was more impressive than the last. We also had the opportunity to witness the famous silk weaving process, for which Kanchipuram is renowned. The day ended with a traditional South Indian dinner at a local restaurant, and it was one of the best meals of the trip. Mahabalipuram was our next destination, and it was a true delight. The ancient rock-cut temples and monuments were a sight to behold, and our guide's knowledge of the history behind them was impressive. We also had the chance to try some delicious seafood dishes at a beachside restaurant, which was a perfect way to end the day. Pondicherry was one of the highlights of the tour for me. The French influence in this city was evident in its architecture, cuisine, and overall vibe. We visited the famous Auroville Ashram and had a delicious French-inspired lunch at a local bistro. The fusion of Indian and French flavors in the food was a unique experience. Thanjavur and Trichy were equally fascinating with their beautiful temples and rich history. Our guide made sure we didn't miss any of the must-see sights, and we also had the opportunity to try some authentic local dishes. The meals included in our tour package were always a perfect balance of traditional South Indian cuisine and modern twists, which added to the overall experience. Overall, the South India Tour Package with Chennai, Kanchipuram, Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry, Thanjavur, and Trichy was a memorable and enriching experience. The meals included were a delicious and essential part of the trip, giving us a taste of the local culture and flavors. I highly recommend this tour package to anyone looking to explore the stunning South Indian cities. It will leave you with lasting memories and a newfound appreciation for South Indian cuisine.Show moreTrip date: February 2024

Jonathan
Asked on June 12th, 2024We are still making a decision about what part of Southern India would be the best to visit. We like the look of this tour and wondering Are there any other Tours you can suggest for these dates that don't require long days of travelling but rather to see as much as possible. Both my 24 year old daughter and myself have been to India previously, basically around the Golden Triangle, that's why we are keen to travel to Southern India? It will be the first time for my 22 year old daughter.
