India doesn't have to be all parched deserts and rush-rush cities. The pace in South India is turned down to 'chill', and you can do just that in the breezy backwaters of tropical Kerala, under a nodding palm on a Goan beach or in a sleek Mumbai bar. Monsoon-lush landscapes, an addictively tasty cuisine, wild elephants, temples...Why wouldn't you go?
This guide covers: Mumbai (Bombay), Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
Please note that all information in this guide is covered in the India Travel Guide.
