Tailor Made Holidays in Karnataka & Tamil Nadu: Itinerary Ideas

This in-depth tour of these great southern states gives a comprehensive insight into the many peoples who have shaped Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. Unveil the Hindu architecture of the ancient kingdoms of Belur and Halebid and explore the military history of Haidar Ali and Tipu Sultan before you journey east to Madras and Pondicherry - colonial strongholds for both the British and French - then delve into the Hindu heartlands of Tanjore, Trichy and Madurai.

Extensions

Instead of flying from Madurai to Madras at the end of the tour it is very easy to head west into Kerala from Madurai. You could spend a night or two in the Cardamom Hills before descending to a beach hotel or the backwaters for a rice boat cruise before flying home from Cochin or Trivandrum. Sri Lanka is less than two hours away by direct flight from Chennai. For some time relaxing on the beach or simply a complete contrast to the culture of India, Sri Lanka is an excellent option.
