For a mammoth state like
Kerala, one's South India Tour can only amount to much.
But then again, all that this state has to offer may
be whittled down into succinct but nevertheless satiating
South India Tour Packages.
In this case, the city of Cochin is indispensable.
Otherwise the state's largest city, Cochin is replete
with rich history, the end product of Portuguese, Dutch
and English colonial influence.
South Indian Tourism is timelessly impressed with the city's attractions like St Francis Church.

A brainchild of the Portuguese, the said church is the first
church ever to be built in India. Another place of interest
for Southern India Tours in the city is Matancherry Palace.
Proximate to the structure is the Jewish Synagogue, built
in 1568 A.D. If anything, Chinese fishing nets in Cochin
Harbor are visually arresting sights.
Being the state capital notwithstanding, Trivandrum
cannot be neglected.
South India Tourism-acclaimed spots
here include the Padmananhaswamy temple, Horse Palace,
Napier Museum, the Srichitra Art Gallery and Veli Lagoon.
When the allure of Trivandrum becomes stale, short Southern
India Tour Packages are quick to shift to Alappuzha or
Alleppey, the self-appointed “Venice of the East”.
Apparently, the moniker alludes to this coastal city's
charming backwaters, lagoons and lakes. |

Apart from the de rigueur boat trips, South Indian Tours
must make spectators out of the travelers in the town's famed
annual Snake Boat Races.
Here giant snake boats
called Chundanvalloms are pitted against each other
for the prestigious Nehru Trophy.
Aside from the Nehru Trophy Boat Race,
the town hosts other spectacular regattas, which usually
involve long thin boats powered by up to 120 oarsmen.
Often held between August and October, the boat races
transpire at the Punnamada Lake in the town.
After the backwaters, everybody's South Indian Travel
advances on to Kovalam Beach, the premier beach playground
of South India. |
