Southern India
is one of the most interesting & live part of India Where you can
witness a variation of colors, culture, religious values, the famous
backwaters & beaches.
Madras, now called Chennai, the first city of Tamil Nadu, is comparatively
a new city. The erstwhile villages of Mylapore, Triplicane, Ezhambur
(Egmore), etc., all now a part of Chennai, have a recorded historical
past centuries older than Chennai. Chennai is ever growing, changing
and pulsating with new activities. The city of today, one of the great
metropolitan cities of the world, and the fourth largest city in India
From Chennai we visit Mahabalipuram & the city of a Thousand Temples
Ancient Kancheepuram, is one of the most sacred pilgrim centres for
the Hindus. There now remain 126 temples in Kanchi and a few more in
the outskirts.
From Chennai we also visit Madurai, probably over 2500 years old, is
the oldest city in Tamil Nadu. Its origin and name emerge from a misty
and lovely legend about India, the king of Gods.
Periyar, the famous wildlife park of Kerala is the next destination
to visit. Periyar also harbors the mighty Tiger, the leopard, wild dog,
barking deer and mouse deer. On the rocky outcrops along the lake, monitor
lizards can be seen basking in the sun. Visitors who trek into the Park
often see a python and sometimes even a king cobra.
From the Wildlife Park, we move to Kumarakom, A voyage north of Alappuzha
takes you to the rich green, sleepy little village of Kumarakom on the
Vembanad lake. An enchanting picnic spot and a fast developing backwater
tourism destination, Kumarakom provides boating, fishing and sightseeing
experiences that are truly exhilarating.
A leisurely walk through is the best way to discover historic Fort Kochi.
An obscure fishing village that became the first European township in
India, Kochi has an eventful and colourful history. The town was developed
by the Portuguese, the Dutch and later the British. The result of these
cultural influences are seen in the many examples of Indo European architecture
that still exist here.
Ensconced on the slopes of the Western ghats Goa is bounded on the North
by Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra, on the East by Belgaum, on the
South by Karwar district of Kamataka and on the West by Arabian Sea.
Its rivers, Tiracol, Chapora, Mandovi, Zuari, Sal and Talpona, which
are navigable throughout the year, have their origin in the Sahyadri
ranges and flow westward into the Arabian Sea 60 kms. away, breaking
the long coast line covering a length of 105 kms. into enchanting estuaries
and bays which mark off idyllic palm-fringed beaches like Arambol, Vagator,
Atijuna, Baga and Calangute in the North and Colva. Betui and Palolem
in the South. Goa, a tiny emerald land on the West Coast of India, with
its natural scenic beauty, attractive beaches and temples famous for
its architecture, feasts and festivals and above all hospitable people
with a rich cultural milieu, form an ideal tourist profile.
From Goa we move to Mumbai to continue onwards journeys.
