The Absolute India

South

Peninsular India is a tropical dream. Kerala’s palm-lined backwaters are best explored on a private houseboat. Further inland, jeep safaris offer a glimpse of Karnataka’s dense forests, full of wild elephants and stealthy big cats. And for a truly off-the-radar experience, dive in the coral-rich waters off the remote Andaman Islands. It’s not just about the outdoors though – South India’s deeply cultural roots are preserved in its carved temples and vibrant dance performances, age-old textile traditions and fantastic culinary experiences. Come for the stunning landscapes, but we promise you’ll return armed with stories of 500-year-old royal cities and colourful craft villages.
