The hotels were clean, comfortable, and reflected the local heritage beautifully.

    The 10-day South India tour with Goa, beginning in Chennai, is a truly immersive journey through the rich heritage, diverse landscapes, and vibrant cultures of southern India. From ancient temples to serene backwaters and sunny beaches, this tour beautifully balances history, spirituality, nature, and relaxation. The journey begins in Chennai, one of India’s major cultural hubs, offering a glimpse into Tamil Nadu’s urban life. From there, the tour takes you along the Coromandel Coast to places like Mahabalipuram and Pondicherry, where stunning rock-cut temples and colonial architecture leave a lasting impression. The French charm of Pondicherry, with its tree-lined boulevards, colorful buildings, and calm beaches, adds a unique European flavor to the South Indian experience.
