Discover India from where the lush Deccan plateau takes over, dominating southern India. Experience the Ghats, where the plateau descends to meet the mostly virgin beaches and warm waters of coastal Indian resorts like Goa and Kochi (Cochin).

Learn about Ayurveda or get treatments from the best Ayurvedic centers in the world. Visit Mumbai (Bombay), the bustling city that houses the largest and most prolific motion picture industry in the world.

The geography, climate, and culture of Southern India is very different from the North. The Deccan Plateau is home to lush plantations, farms, and jungles; it descends into hundreds of miles of warm and beautiful beaches. There is magnificent traditional Hindu architecture, art and handicrafts.

The awe inspiring temples let you discover Hinduism in its purest form. In a nation where religion is interwoven with almost every activity, Southerners tend to be even more pious and God-fearing. Religious festivals and events occur all through the year. Explore ornate palaces that exhibit wealth rivaling the most elaborate royal palaces of Europe. There are many regional handicrafts available; as well as the opportunity to observe local color and rituals.

Kerala is advertised as God’s own country. It’s amazing scenery and friendly locals will captivate you. The 100% literacy and lack of poverty make it unique among Indian states. It has a large Christian population and you can visit churches full of architectural and cultural significance.

Kerala’s largest city Kochi has something to delight every explorer. It is know as "The Queen of the Arabian Sea", among other names, and is a scenic and lush collection of islands, capes, and mainland; connected by an elaborate yet intricate system of ferries and bridges.

Although it has monuments left over from ancient cultures, the city of Chennai as we currently know it was founded by the British in the early 17th century. In the 2nd century AD, Greek geographer Ptolemy described Mylapore (part of modern Chennai, located south of Marina Beach) as a prosperous port. The Kapaleswara temple and San Thome Cathedral are both located in this part of Chennai, and are well worth a visit.
