South India holidays unfold across a vibrant and varied region.
From Kerala’s tropical calm to Karnataka’s ancient cities and Tamil Nadu’s temple towns, there is so much to explore. Kerala is as lush as it is compelling – the central and southern areas offer iconic houseboat cruises and hill stations, but head north for a quieter, often more authentic experience. Think fewer tourists, village walks, and a slower pace of life that’s deeply Keralan. Across the border, Karnataka is on the rise, blending cosmopolitan buzz in Bangalore with temple ruins in Hampi, misty coffee estates in Coorg, and regal grandeur in Mysore’s palaces.
Tamil Nadu offers a heady mix of colour, culture and carved-stone devotion.
Known for its towering Dravidian temples, it also serves up French colonial towns, hill station escapes and sacred journeys. Then there’s Goa – India’s beach favourite – ideal for winding down at the end of a cultural trip. Whether you’re into history, hiking, heritage or simply hammocks by the sea, South India combines it all in one endlessly fascinating region.
