Kerala: Ayurvedic Soul & Serene Waters

Chennai – Mamallapuram – Kanchipuram – Pondicherry – Kumbakonam – Madurai – Periyar – Kumarakom – Alleppey – Cochin – Calicut – Wayanad – Mysore – Hassan – Bangalore.

South India has evolved as a destination over the past two decades. Less flashy than the north, South India presents itself to travelers in a comparatively leisurely way. Everything is less busy, less noisy, the typical Indian traffic chaos is also present, but not as extreme as in the rest of the country. Economically, South India has also evolved into a particularly important part of the country, as it is home to Bangalore, the “Indian Silicon Valley”. We visit national parks, travel on land and water, including houseboats, go hiking and sightseeing and immerse ourselves in the life of the south India, shaped by tradition and religion, but more focused on development and the future.

What is particularly exciting in South India is the dominance of rurality rooted in natural habitats, vegetation, due to belonging to the tropical region of the country. In addition, there are the cities, which always tell a piece of colonial history and in which life is vibrant. The local cuisine is also fascinating, very spicy but offering wonderful taste experiences, and the hospitality of the people, who invite us into their villages and temples, is always impressive. Of course, South India is also the option to try the Ayurvedic treatments for which the region is known.

Travelling entirely by land, with no domestic flights to interrupt the flow of the trip, it is the ideal trip for anyone who wants to see all of its facets in a comprehensive and sustainable way, and in just three weeks.

For those exploring south India trip places with depth and authenticity, this journey is a true representation of the region’s soul. Whether you’re searching for thoughtfully curated south India holiday packages or looking to experience a rich cultural mosaic, this itinerary promises the ultimate grand South India tour experience.
