Intrepid Travel

Southern India

Southern India

Lush and tropical, southern India is inspiring and delightful. Beneath the green shade of a coastal paradise, meet with locals in their fishing villages and tribal homes. Join them in the bazaars, on buses and boats, or even on pilgrimage in Madurai. From cultural sights like the Maharaja’s Palace in Mysore to French-influenced Puducherry and the vast landscape of Periyar, southern India’s spirituality, friendly people, and wild animal sanctuaries make it a fascinating part of the country to explore.
