- Robert· July 29th, 2025This trip gave me a deeper appreciation for Southern India. From the historical monuments in Mysore to the calming beauty of Coonoor, the trip was filled with variety. The hotels were comfortable, though the stay in Thekkady was particularly cozy with beautiful views. The driver made the long drives bearable and safe. The guides really brought the history and culture of each region to life. I loved every moment. Beautiful trip through South India.Show more
