Sacred & Religious Sites Beaches Bodies of Water
Known for its tropical climate, beautifully preserved Hindu temples, and aromatic, spicy cuisine, South India boasts an incredible diversity of nature and culture. Consisting of eight states and territories, the coastal areas of the region swelter in a humid climate, while the central plateau experiences even more extreme conditions. But with an extensive coastline dotted with beach resorts and quaint fishing villages, it's never too difficult to cool down during a South India vacation. No trip to South India is complete without appreciating the many ornate Dravidian temples that typify the region--they remain some of the most popular tourist attractions in Asia. South India is in India. Make your own South India vacation itinerary, with a little help from those that know the place like the back of their hands, by using our India tour itinerary planner.
