Goa, Kerala & South India

Goa Kerala & South India – lush vegetation , a laid back vibe and stunning scenery make Kerala one of India’s most popular travel destinations. Potter round the market streets of historic Fort Kochi, trek through tea plantations, laze on board a converted rice barge as it meanders down the magical Backwaters or just relax in a fabulous boutique beach property.

India’s southern states offer the visitor a varied experience and they are greatly distinct from their northern neighbours, in language, dress and religion. The Western Ghats are composed of seeping plains, jungle-covered hills peppered with temples, and the beautiful Coromandel Coast. Enjoy an evocative visit to of the working tea plantations.

Sun-kissed Goa is a great place to relax by the sea, but its Christian history gives it interest beyond the charming beaches.

In this sector you will find places of interest in Tamil Nadu and the Southern half of Karnataka which can both be comfortably combined with a tour of Kerala or be visited on their own. Karnataka’s main attractions are located almost at opposite ends of this large state. To help you get the most out of your time in South India we plan your trip to match your interests and combine the well-known highlights of the region with more unusual experiences. For the majority trips, we suggest a private car and driver leaving you relaxed and ready to enjoy sightseeing. In some places we recommend that we book an English speaking guide for your excursions in advance, many of whom are experts in local history, architecture or wildlife while others we give you the option of experiencing independently.
