    We Directly booked this tour.we really enjoyed our trip in india.I Starting in Mumbai, the journey offered a perfect blend of cultural heritage, scenic beauty, and local flavors. From the vibrant streets of Mumbai, we traveled through the serene beaches of Goa, the lush greenery of Kerala, the architectural marvels of Tamil Nadu, and the coffee-scented hills of Karnataka. Each destination had its own unique charm — whether it was cruising through the backwaters of Alleppey, exploring the majestic temples of Madurai, or soaking in the colonial charm of Pondicherry. Thanks to everyone for giving me service.

    South India is a diverse and culturally rich region that offers a unique and unforgettable travel experience. As a traveler from Mumbai, I had the opportunity to explore this beautiful part of the country and I must say, it was one of the best trips I have ever had. My journey began in Mumbai, where I took a flight to Chennai, the capital city of Tamil Nadu. Chennai is a bustling metropolis with a perfect blend of modernity and tradition. I was mesmerized by the colorful streets, vibrant markets, and delicious food. The highlight of my visit to Chennai was definitely the temples, especially the iconic Kapaleeshwarar Temple and the majestic Sri Parthasarathy Temple. From Chennai, I traveled to Pondicherry, a former French colony known for its picturesque beaches and French-inspired architecture. The laid-back vibe of this town was a refreshing change from the chaos of Mumbai. I spent my days strolling through the quaint streets, enjoying the delicious French cuisine, and soaking in the sun at the beaches. Next stop on my itinerary was Mysore, a city known for its grand palaces and rich heritage. The Mysore Palace, with its intricate architecture and opulent interiors, left me in awe. I also visited the famous Chamundi Hills and the Brindavan Gardens, which were both a sight to behold. After Mysore, I headed to the beautiful hill station of Ooty. The journey to Ooty was a scenic one, with breathtaking views of the Nilgiri Mountains. Ooty is a paradise for nature lovers, with its lush green landscapes, tranquil lakes, and tea plantations. I spent my days here hiking, boating, and sipping on the famous Ooty tea. The last stop on my South India journey was Kochi, a charming coastal city in Kerala. Kochi is a melting pot of different cultures and is famous for its Chinese fishing nets, colonial buildings, and backwater cruises. I also had the opportunity to witness a Kathakali performance, a traditional dance form of Kerala, which was a unique and memorable experience. From Kochi, I took a flight back to Mumbai, with a heart full of wonderful memories and a newfound love for South India. The people, the culture, the food, and the stunning landscapes, everything about this region left a lasting impression on me. I highly recommend exploring South India from Mumbai, as it is a perfect blend of history, nature, and culture.
