Best of Southern India Tour 10 Days

Package Overview

The Gateway to Kerala and often dubbed as the “Queen of the Arabian Sea” Cochin is an interesting confluence of diverse cultural and historic influences like the Arab, Portuguese, Chinese, Dutch and the English.

Visit the many iconic attractions of the city such as the Mattancherry palace and the Pardesi synagogue. Walk through the harbor of Fort Kochi to see the most prolific visual of this city - the gigantic Chinese fishing nets.

Drive through tropical evergreen and deciduous forests to arrive at Thekkady to the Periyar Tiger Reserve. The best way to see the reserve is by taking a boat cruise on the Periyar Lake to do some bird spotting and perhaps catch a glimpse of the elusive tiger!

A short drive takes you to Kumarakom - the awe - inspiring backwater town of Kerala. Enjoy the picture perfect coconut - fringed Kerala backwaters aboard a luxurious houseboat as you sail through narrow canals abundant with aquatic life and animals such as the otters, turtles and beautiful migratory birds. Unwind and relax as you admire your picturesque surroundings and watch the water gently slinking past as you sip cardamom tea from the deck.

Head to Kovalam , a little piece of paradise, full of picturesque beaches, coconut trees and a relaxed holiday atmosphere. From luxurious Ayurvedic massages and sun - kissed beaches to sumptuous seafood, wild water sports and historical landmarks, Kovalam has an interesting mix of attractions.

A short drive from Kovalam takes you to the southernmost tip of India: Kanyakumari. It is geographically the end of Indian mainland and the meeting point of three seas, the Indian Ocean, the Arabian sea, and the Bay of Bengal.

With its stunning coastline, dense forests and spectacular sunrise and sunsets, Kanyakumari is a very popular touristic destination.
