While the North of India draws attention with its magnificent forts & palaces, the South has been accumulating some of the world’s greatest civilisational legacies. Featuring towering temple architectures with intricate, colorful structures to the maritime history of cities by the shore such as the charming port of Kochi. The geographical diversity ranges from the green hills of Munnar to the unhurried backwaters of Alleppey. Wildlife isn’t any less fascinating, with jungles in the Western Ghats harbouring some of the world’s rarest endemic species.
Spiritual richness graces its landscapes, which one can witness with the devotion seen at temples to dramatic rituals such as Theyyam. The temples are perhaps the most fascinating, built with a precision that still baffles historians and modern-day architects alike. Classical traditions remain very much alive, be it music, dance, food or art– you can appreciate these with privately arranged performances or excursions of museums. Every itinerary from our South India Tour Packages is built around the traveler’s preferred pace & interests– covering all the significant UNESCO sites & off-the-beaten-path gems.

START PLANNINGThe ideal duration for a south India tour is between 10 to 12 days. But if you want to include an Ayurveda retreat, a wildlife sanctuary like Periyar or Kabini, or explore more of Pondicherry and the Chettinad region, 15-17 days is ideal.
October to March is the most comfortable window across most of South India. Kerala's monsoon season from June to August is beautiful in its own right and a popular time for Ayurveda retreats.
It's largely untouched by mass tourism, which is precisely its appeal. The Kerala and Karnataka coastline in particular has long stretches of quiet shoreline, dramatic clifftop settings like Varkala, and historic fishing towns that feel worlds away from anything overrun or commercialised.
Planning a trip today comes with many considerations, but with expert guidance, you can travel with confidence. If unforeseen circumstances affect your plans, we’ll modify your reservation or provide full travel credit for future adventures.
Whatever you want your luxury private tour or safari itinerary to include, we'll create something fully unique and bespoke for you.
