September Featured Tour: Southern Enchantment

Written by Allison Sodha | September 1, 2010 at 8:18 AM

Discover the social, spiritual, and geographic diversity of Southern India in our Southern Enchantment tour. Enjoy 8 days/7 nights in Kerala and Tamil Nadu, two states with beautiful coastlines, misty hill stations, and a rich history. In this tour, explore the shore temples of Mahabalipuram, sandy beaches of Kovalam, and Kerala’s capital, Trivandrum. You will also visit Kanyakumari, the southern-most tip of India where the Bay of Bengal, Indian Ocean, and Arabian Sea meet.

Here is a testimonial from Ruth Johannson, who returned from Southern Enchantment in June:

I was not expecting to fall in love with South India, probably since so much attention is centered on Northern India and the Taj Mahal. What a captivating area! For me, the tropical climate added to the appeal. The beaches were beautiful, and there was a magnetism at Kanyakumari. I also loved the Keralan food and brought home a bag of spices. Our tour guide in Mahabalipuram was particularly knowledgable and helpful and we loved his stories about India's history. Thank you for recommending this tour package for us. It was a real treat!

The temples and architecture, juxtaposed with palm trees and multicolored shores, make South India a must-see region for international travelers. Reserve this tour in the month of September and receive $300 off per couple!
