Culture, Cuisine and Charisma on a South India Tour
Gliding through Kerala’s lush backwaters on a luxurious houseboat tour, an unhurried pace of life unfolds in these villages of South India. Next on the cards, Ayurvedic massages and treatments along with yoga and meditation, at resorts along the Kerala coast, or at hill stations set among spice and tea plantations. In Kochi historic churches stand beside colonial buildings converted into boutique hotels offering affable hospitality. The very same kind of geniality you’ll get from the Enchanting Travels consultant who helps you devise a bespoke South India itinerary. At night, attend an operatic Kathakali performance, best remembered for the dancers’ elaborate costumes and makeup.
Mounds of marigolds, queues of Hindu devotees, and grand architecture greet visitors in the temple town of Madurai. Rock-cut temples in Hampi, sculpture and art in Belur, and the region’s lesser-known cave temples are all centuries-old masterpieces.
In cities like Hyderabad and Bengaluru and in every corner of southern India, the food will leave you both sated and hungry for more. Hop across to explore Tamil Nadu’s capital Chennai, and then drive three hours south, to the ex-French enclave of Pondicherry, where the township of Auroville was set up to promote peace and human unity.

“Our Indian trip was truly enchanting. We were two couples who wanted just train travel and small hotels and the company was able to meet all our requirements. The guides were very knowledgeable, and the chauffeurs were excellent. The support staff were there to meet us, and ensured that all the train travel was an enjoyable experience. We will use them again for future trips.”
“Enchanting Travels planned for us a trip with memories that will last a lifetime. We traveled to India, a country that would be hard to travel to without proper guidance. We never felt alone during our trip, and we never felt like we were getting anything less than the best experience.”
“Enchanting Travels really lives up to its name. Our trip to India will be fondly remembered for all its amazing sights, but also for how wonderfully everyone treated us. They really took all the stress and uncertainty out of our trip planning. I’d highly recommend them, and I intend on seeing many more countries with their help.”
“We would wholeheartedly recommend Enchanting Travels to anyone wishing to undertake a private tour of India. We always felt looked after and cared for throughout the trip. Enchanting were excellent every step of the way, from the initial contact and personally planned itinerary to the final day of our trip when they saw us off at the airport. We would definitely use them again in another part of the world where they conduct tours. Very professional and excellent company that we have no hesitation in recommending to anyone.”
