On her first trip to India Rachel wanted to explore both North and South India. On her month-long visit, Rachel chose to explore a couple of weeks exploring the South of India.
This route is ideal for people wanting to spend just a couple of weeks in South India. It also makes sense for people who would like to experience a little bit of the North and South; you could start the trip in Delhi and make your way towards Mumbai, before travelling on this route.
We had her start this route from the finance capital of India – Mumbai and made her way to the serene beaches of Goa. Followed by the majestic ruins of Hampi which takes you back in time. Next we had her brush with royalty in Mysore, before she made her way in to God’s own country (Kerala). South India is a great place to explore but Kerala has it’s own charm.
In Kerala, we had her visit Wayanad for it’s coffee plantations, followed by Calicut and she ended her trip in the delightful Kochi. Kochi is home to India’s finest homestays and heritage accommodations. There is a lot to see such as a 400 year old synagogue, beautiful ancient mosques and charming Portuguese houses which would take you back in time.
South India is not as chaotic as compared to the North India. It is an interesting combination of beautiful beaches; wildlife and architecture. This makes South India a very interesting destination for travellers. If you have the time it is always good to include both these regions as they are extremely different from one another. Different people, different cultures and a different way of life!
