About This Tour

A 13-day private tour across South India — Chennai, French colonial Pondicherry, the temples of Thanjavur and Madurai, Munnar's tea hills, Alleppey's backwaters, and Goa's beaches. This route runs coast to coast, from Tamil Nadu's east side to Goa's west side, so the pace shifts from temple-hopping early on to backwaters and beach time later in the trip.
