    This was a dream trip for me. The historical monuments in Madurai and Mahabalipuram were incredible, and the coastal towns like Varkala and Puducherry were beautiful. The hotels were all well-managed, offering comfort after days of sightseeing. Our driver was very friendly and kept us informed about the areas we passed through.
