Temples & Tigers – 14 days, 13 nights

In India’s far south, the names Tamil Nadu and Kerala evoke powerful images of inspired Hindu temple sites, game-rich reserves, the lush beauty of the Western Ghats, palm-lined beaches and tranquil canals.  Spend 14 days taking in the Wonders of South India, discovering rich layers of history and culture that go back thousands of years.  In Chennai, once the first British foothold in India, experience a clash of cultures where remnants of the Raj still linger.  Travelling through the heart of Tamil Nadu, one stop after another is an awe-inspiring encounter with the imaginative, artistic and detailed temple complexes reflecting an array of spiritual architecture that spans several millennia.
