At the break of dawn, in some corner of Kerala’s Cochin Beach, a fisherman casts a larger-than-life fishing net into the water. At the same time, a sage walks up to the Venkateswara Temple in Tirupati to offer his pilgrimage and seek blessings from the deity in the hill-town of Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh. Just as the sun sets over the horizon, the King’s palace is brightly lit up, illuminating every intricate detail and design of the royal architecture of a colonial era in Karnataka’s Mysore. South India reveals its elaborate spectrums: developmental work continues and modern marvels are made constantly in the promising state of Telangana; tourists arrive and regale at Port Blair in Andaman Islands; travellers feel the thrilling rush of landing on an island airstrip of Agatti Airport in Lakshadweep Islands; families relax on the country’s longest urban beach, the Marina Beach in Tamil Nadu.

The hot and humid climates of the country’s southernmost states are like a cleansing bath of sauna activity. Bound together by the steamy climate, this wedge-shaped heartland has the grandeur and potential to win the heart of any tourist inbound for India. Explore South India tour packages from MakMyTrip.

Best Time to Visit South India

With exception of the hill stations and some inland locations, the region enjoys a balmy weather and tropical climate depending on monsoon for rainfall. The temperature in this non-arid climate never goes down below 18 °C. From tropical monsoon to tropical wet and dry to hot semi-arid climates, these regions foster a mix of weather conditions.

The high season for tourism starts from December, extends till March on warm days and pleasantly cool nights. As the temperature climbs up steadily, the low season seeps in and stays from April to June. You can choose to beat the heat by retreating to the cool hill stations. But alas! You can’t beat the crowd. As the monsoon pours in heavy showers starting from June, tourists dwindle down to a handful as heavy showers persist till September. For a travel experience any time of the year, choose from a range of South India tour packages available on MakeMyTrip.

How to Reach South India

The best tourist places in South India can be accessed via land, air and water. The region’s strong network of passenger airlines and railway systems supported by various water and ferry routes make this geographical landmass easy to approach.

Because of the vastness of the country, it makes sense to reach out for the nearest airport depending upon your destination. Almost every tourist site is located at motorable distances from an airstrip. The gateways to international flight services for foreign tourists are provided by major cities such as Bengaluru, Chennai, Trivandrum, Hyderabad and others.

Indian Railways have the largest network in the world. So, it is by no doubt an easy and affordable way to travel to one of South India’s destination spots from anywhere in the country. Tourists coming in from outside the country can first cross borders and then use the extensive network of railways spread across the country.

The bus services in South India are one of the nation’s strongest and most efficient systems till date. Deluxe, air-conditioned as well as local buses ply from all major cities and rural areas making it the most efficient mode of transport to reach inland places.

In addition, cabs, rented cars, bikes and self-drive vehicles can be used to make transfers from one destination to the next. The road ways are not just easy to navigate but also a lot more fun when you take control of the wheel.

Places To See In South India

A travel plan is always accompanied by a list of must-visits and must-do’s. South India is a huge destination with potential to explode your travel itinerary with countless options. Some of the best places to visit in South India may include (but not limited to):

•   In God’s own country: The backwaters, the beaches, palm trees and greenery with serene waterfalls are all that await you in Kerala. Be it Alappuzha, its waterways and waterfall, the Fort at Cochin, the hill stations of Wayanad and Munnar or the beach in Varkala, this state will amaze you with its natural beauty.

•   Enter the rice bowl of India: The gold topped temple of Venkateswara, the sprawling bustling life at Vijayawada with Undavali caves, a modern day Ramakrishna Beach at Visakhapatnam or the smell of Hyderabadi Biryani, Andhra Pradesh will delight and satisfy all of your senses.

•   A history in modernity: Telanagana is known for its historically important monumental structures such as the Char Minar, the Golkonda fortress for its acoustics, the reconstructed Chowmahalla Palace, the vast studio of Ramoji Film City or the internal theme park of Snow World. Also, sharing with Andhra Pradesh is the Hyderabad capital known for its bustling life and technological advancements.

•   Vibrant with a touch of royalty: From historical monuments, age-old religious places and royal palaces, the state of Karnataka reflects the past struggles between empires within a drapery of modern civilisation. The royal palace at Bengaluru and Mysuru, seasonal Jog Falls, fort at Madikeri and Virupaksha temple at Hampi are locations worth covering.

•   Bestowed land of Tamil Nadu: This is the best place to finding and discovering South Indian temples. The southernmost tip of India’s mainland is situated in Kanyakumari, also the best place to view sunrise from the tip of India. The capital city of Chennai is known for Kapaleeshwar Temple and Fort St. George, Mamallapuram for Krishna’s butter ball and the hill town of Kodaikanal offers respite from the summer heat. The architectural temples and the natural wonders, both make it a must visit destination.

•   Island extensions of India: The dive site and beach in Havelock Island, mud volcanoes in Baratang or the sea-side resorts of Kavaratti, Minicoy and Kadmat Island make up for the attractions in the island archipelago of Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep. Majestic and beautiful yet unexplored, these islands are a must visit on your South India tour.

When you arrive here, do explore other sightseeing options available around your place of stay. Chances are that you may discover lesser known sites that will offer you the complete package of a South India tour.

What to Eat In South India

Many of us have mouth-watering experiences when we hear dosa and sambhar with a dash of chutney. But those familiar with the plethora of cuisines that exist in the region will acknowledge that it is just a trailer to the whole scene.

•   Let’s start with the trailer: Because honestly, no South Indian dish is complete without a dose of fresh dosa and chutney or a fluffy delight of idli and sambhar right in the morning for breakfast. Or if you are in the mood for something crispy, vada is the best answer.

•   Kerala’s savoury fish curry: If there is one thing that distinguishes Kerala’s cuisine from the rest, it is their fish curry. The Kadala fish curry is an item fit for the Gods to relish.

•   The cheesiest dosa: The state of Karnataka is known for the varieties of dosa it offers on a grand scale. Apart from the regular combination of dosa with chutney, which you will be able to entertain yourself with in any South Indian state, the street restaurants are filled with varieties of dosa with cheese toppings, paneer and sweet corns. Now this is something unique on a whole new level.

•   The spiciest haleem: Visiting Andhra Pradesh is a spicy dream coming true. With a touch of the famous Guntur red chilly, a serving of the creamiest haleem will leave you gasping for air, water and for more. It looks all the more appetizing when it is served with sautéed bay leaves and golden fried onion rings on top.

•   The Hyderabadi special: The Hyderabadi biryani is another tasty treat from the South Indian state of Telangana that meat lovers just can’t ignore. With half boiled rice smelling strongly of butter, saffron and spices, this meaty delight is served best with curd and chutney.

•   All the way from Chettinad: You can’t bear to lose the chance of tasting the Chettinad chicken when you are in Tamil Nadu. Originated in the Chettinad region, this spicy dish forms the top of the food pile to experience in Tamil Nadu’s veggie menu. Be warned about this peppery spicy sensation that you will fall in love with.

•   Seafood is life: In the island destinations of Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep, seafood is their specialty. From crabs and prawns to freshly caught fish, no one can cook and present seafood in more tempting ways than the eateries in these parts of South India!

Besides these highlights, appam, utappam, beef fry, prawn curry, Nawaabi kebabs, tamarind rice, payassam and a whole deal of uncovered cuisines exist out there. Keep your explorer quotient on high and you might just have the feast of your life. Book your South India tour packages right away.

LESSER KNOWN EXPERIENCES TO LOOK OUT FOR IN SOUTH INDIA

South India blossoms like a paradise for tourists looking for a mix of cultural heritage, nature and adventure. Whichever way you head, there is a good chance that you will find a lesser known activity/ destination perfect for a quiet weekend getaway. Sometimes, the best places to visit in South India are the ones that are the most obscure.

•   A hill resort called Idukki: This destination lies in the Western Ghat region of Kerala. From the scenic hilly terrain of Munnar to the holy shrine of Sabarimala to wild-life watching in Periyar National Park to aerosports in Vagamon, this hill district is truly an experience beyond excellent and 2500 above sea level.

•   Detour from Ooty: Located at about 19kms away from Ooty is Coonoor, a magnificent hill-town resort in Tamil Nadu. This hill station is the second largest in south India and home to the Sim’s garden, Doddabetta view point, Catherine Falls and a part of the Nilgiri Mountain Railways track.

•   Grand Canyon of India: Truly unexplored and unseen by many, anyone lucky enough to have stumbled upon this epic rocky landscape will feel so. Gandikota is a small village located at the bank of Pennar in Andhra Pradesh. The downhill track from the canyon to the riverbed can be traversed on foot. Also, there is no transportation available once you are in this region.

•   Your chance to be Indiana Jones: The Belum Caves are the second largest caves in the Indian sub-continent open to public access. Catch a bus from Tadripati to explore this longest limestone cave of India. Inside the cave, you will feel like you’re on a treasure hunt. Located in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh bordering Telangana, this is the best place to quench your explorer spirit.

•   Truly a delight of two: On the way to Goa from Mangalore, there is a stretch of road with a river on one side and a beach on the other, the Maravanthe Beach in Karnataka. With no nearby places to stay, this is a sure hit spot if you are looking for peace and tranquility at a beach like that of Goa.

•   Island exploration: Amongst the tourist places in South India, the island destinations of Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep have many beautiful places but less explored ones on the map. Try Neil Island in Andaman with beautiful outcrops and Agatti Island with an airway strip. The views don’t get better than these.

A great number of hidden and unexplored destinations exist in the vast Deccan plateau and Western Ghats. From ancient temples to secluded beaches to hidden waterfalls and remote hill stations in South India, this is a place you will never get tired of exploring.
