A visit to the Southern part of India gives a peak in the soul of this great country. South India has largely remained immune from foreign invasions and as a result, has retained its original culture, heritage and crafts. The graceful dance and martial art forms, the towering and magnificent temples and the simplicity of its people form a unique amalgam that you can discover with our South India tour itinerary.
This peninsular area with sea on all sides has pristine beaches too, while the sunny tropical climate sustains a lush diversity of forests and animal life. Tamil Nadu is noted for its temples, Puducherry for its French lineage, Karnataka for its wild tracks, Andhra Pradesh for its Muslim heritage and Kerala, in deep South, is widely known as God’s Own Country.

Top 10 Places to visit in India
The hunt ends here. Here’s the best guide to discover the best touristic spots of India. India is the trip of a lifetime – a journey back in time, into the heart of an ancient civilization. India is a huge country, harbouring extremely diverse topography, language, climate, culture and people. The huge Himalayan mountains in the North, the vast Thar desert in the West, the vast rolling plains of Central India, the mysterious East and North East and the culturally rich South are as different as could be from each other, but still bound inseparably by the spirit of Indian-ness.
Although it is impossible to explore India in one go, some of the unmissable and important spots for a tourist are the Taj Mahal of Agra, Qutub Minar, Red Fort & Lotus Temple of Delhi, Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg in Kashmir, the palaces and forts of Jaipur, Jodhpur and Udaipur, the desert of Jaisalmer, the Sun Temple of Orissa, the Khajuraho Temples of Madhya Pradesh, the Thanjavur, Meenakshi & Murugan temples of Tamil Nadu, the opulent Mysore Palace of Karnataka and the whole of North East India and Kerala with their unmissable lush natural beauty. This is just the tip of the iceberg, with a myriad pearls in the heart of this Ocean called India.
