Like a giant wedge plunging into the Indian ocean, South India is the subcontinent’s steamy heartland – a lush contrast to the peaks and plains of the North. South India is a magnificent canvas of splendid civilizations that have inhabited this land for over two millennia – the amazing rock cut shrines carved out by Buddhists, Hindus and Jains at Ajanta & Ellora. The palaces, tombs, forts and mosques of Muslim dynasties in the Deccan. Tamil Nadu’s inspired Pallava sculptures and towering Chola temples, the magical ruins of the Vijaynagar capital at Hampi.
South India’s thousands of kilometers of coastline frame fertile plains and rolling hills – a landscape that changes constantly as you travel and is kept green by the monsoon. The palm strung strands and in- land waterways of the west give way to spice gardens, tea plantations, tropical forests, Kerala’s lazy backwaters and cool hill station retreats.
