South India & Sri Lanka

This tour is a delightful and satisfying combination of South India’s rich architectural history filled with ancient temples, colonial outposts, and vibrant cities and the historic heartland of Sri Lanka with its concentration of extravagant ancient ruins, caves temples and rock fortresses.

Tamil Nadu is a gentler, more relaxing introduction to the wonders of India. Visit the grand temple complexes that are both testaments to the great cultural opulence left behind by erstwhile dynasties and displays of current spirituality and community. Meet with the priests and merchants who keep the temples alive. Chill in the French colonial vibe of Pondicherry and stroll its ocean-front promenade. Explore the fabulously decorated courtyard mansions of little-travelled Chettinad and learn to prepare the finest cuisine in India.

Sri Lanka punches above its size with a plethora of extraordinary sites. With five UNESCO World Heritage Sites on this route, you’ll be amazed by the timeless wonders of its 2000-plus years of culture. Legendary temples are found in caves and on hilltops and ruins of ancient civilizations spread over the central plains. We’ll meet with monks in sacred hidden caves, taste Ceylon tea at the plantation, and visit medieval capitals by bike or on foot.

These still relatively less travelled treasures of the sub-continent promise days filled with discovery!
