Grand Tour of Southern India
We love...
Riding an iconic Ooty Toy Train through the spectacular Nilgiri Hills. Cruising tranquil backwaters and staying overnight on a traditional coir houseboat. Spotting wildlife in Southern India’s sublime nature reserves.
India continues to be one of our bestselling destinations and this comprehensive tour of Southern India is something very special indeed. We’ll tick off all the highlights, from serene temples and ornate palaces in Mysuru to tea plantations and ‘Toy Train’ rides in the cool Nilgiri Hills and a night on a traditional coir houseboat. There’ll be rickshaw rides and Kathakali dance shows, cookery classes and the chance to spot textbook Indian wildlife in national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Every day is a sensory adventure, providing rich stories, wonderful memories and a love for Southern India that will last long after the tour is over.
