South India
South India is different. Those who only know North India will feel like they are in a different country. The food is different, the language is no longer Hindi, the main languages spoken are Dravidian. There are also more Christians here than anywhere else in India.
South India is the home of Ayurveda and Katakali dance. Many of the most beautiful hotels in India can be found here in the south – beautifully landscaped resorts, mostly within spa areas. If you want to treat your body with a very special holiday, you can do so in one of the beneficial Ayurveda resorts.
You can not only relax and enjoy luxury here, no, you can also hike in South India, discover the country from the water on the backwaters in Kerala or experience the wild side in one of the many national parks.

Sights and Activities
Since South India comprises a huge region, it is of course equally diverse and just as diverse are the sights and activities you can do in the southern states. It starts in the classic way with cultural trips to explore the cultural highlights of the countries (countless world-famous Hindu temples such as the temples and historical sites of Madurai), to wellness and health holidays with a focus on Ayurveda and beach holidays on the coasts of all four regions (with Goa as a bathing destination for all of us). others), up to active holidays with trekking in the Western Ghats and wildlife tours, as the region is also home to several national parks and therefore rare and exciting animal species. Cycling, motorcycle tours, mountaineering (there are also higher peaks such as Doddabetta in the Nilgiris with 2,637m), homestays, yoga classes, boat trips on the backwaters and and and … the possibilities are diverse.
