Its cities and towns are Madurai, Rameswaram and Thanjavur, with magnificent ancient temples, which are a testament to Dravidian architecture. Chennai (formerly known as Madras) is a good mix of old and new with a coastal feel.
Kerala is famous for its backwaters, its network of canals, its lovely beaches and its scenic natural beauty. Tourists love Alleppey for its backwater houseboat rides and Munnar for its cool mountain vistas and lush tea plantations. This state is famous for Onam festival and snake boat race also. Karnataka is also an interesting blend of history and nature. You can explore the architectural wonders of Mysuru and Hampi before heading to Coorg or Chikkamagaluru for beautiful mountain escapes.

Selecting the Best Holiday Package Matters
Planning multi-destination trips can be tricky sometimes, especially for the first time visitor. A well-planned South India tour package can ease the experience by combining accommodation, transport, sightseeing and other travel arrangements.
If you are particularly keen on a particular state like Tamil Nadu, personalised Tamil Nadu tour packages can be a perfect way to cover the destinations and have experiences of your choices. You can combine the historic temples, beaches, and cultures in a single trip.
Before you book a trip plan, you should go through its inclusions and exclusions. Usually, such plans include flight/train tickets, comfortable accommodation, local transfers, sightseeing, and selected meals. Some are available with customisation options. Match the inclusions with your travel style and requirements to finalise and book the best holiday plan.
What Is the Best Time to Visit South India, Particularly Tamil Nadu?
The best time to visit South India is usually from October to March. Throughout this period, the weather is pleasant and cool with temperatures ranging from 20°C to 30°C. Hill stations like Ooty, Munnar, Coorg, and Kodaikanal have chilling weather at nights with temperatures dropping to 5°C. You can easily explore ancient temples in Tamil Nadu and historic ruins in Hampi and enjoy coastal life across the region.
Summers (April to June) are ideal only for mountain/hill station escapes. The monsoon season (July to September) is usually not ideal due to heavy rains and preventive stops to many outdoor activities. However, you can explore the region with a dedicated India tour package to witness lush greenery.
