South India Destinations
Six states, one coast-to-coast journey. Choose a state, then the places inside it.
South India fits backwaters, hill stations, temple towns and long beaches into a few hours of travel. Start with a state to see its character, or go straight to a place you already have in mind. Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and Goa each have their own food, language and pace, and every place has its own page with the best months to go and how long to stay.
