India is a country like no other. There you can go and visit the majestic Himalayas and even perform the world known Kailash yantra (although, for that you’ll have to cross the border with China), or you can go to the desert and delve into the vibrant Rajasthani culture. You can head to the very heart of the country and explore the delights of Deli and Agra, but you might as well head to the hill stations in the southern regions and visit picturesque tea plantations. And don’t get us started about the spectacular temples because they are scattered literally all over the country! So, why head to the south, exactly? Oh, there’s so much to see and to taste that you can spend a whole year exploring this region! And no, we’re not talking about Goa. Here are 10 reasons you should go to South India right now.
Wander around the relics of Hampi
Dive into the breathtaking history of India as you roam around the remnants of what used to be Vijayanagar, one of the greatest empires in Ancient India. Most of the ruins date back to the 14 century, but some temples were built around 232 BCE, so you are up for a thrilling trip back in time. It’s dotted with old inscriptions, carvings, sacred sites, and enigmatic boulders. Most visitors note the breathtaking atmosphere of the place and special energy that can be felt there.
Visit the Niagara Falls of India
Kerala is a state known for its natural beauty, breathtaking hills, and everlasting greenery. Falling from the height of 80 feet, Athirapally Falls is a spectacular cascade of water and the largest waterfall in the whole state. Nicknamed the ‘Niagara Falls of India’, the waterfall is easily reachable from the town of Chalakudy by bus or taxi. Nearest railway station is also located in Chalakudy.
Taste coffee at the Araku valley
You might not know this, but the beautiful Araku valley is one of the most important organic coffee plantations in India. Back in 2007, this became the very first place for growing organic coffee in the country, which is now known as ‘Araku Emerald’ all over the world. The place itself is a charming hill station and a great mountain getaway from the noise of the big city.
Explore the Keralan cuisine in Kochi
Southern cuisine is light, mouth-watering, and quite spicy even by Indian standards. Head to the former spice trading port that is Kochi to enjoy some staple Keralan dishes that you won’t try anywhere else. Apart from a mix of savory spices, here you will also find a variety of fish dishes and curries. We especially recommend trying fish peera (that goes with tamarind) and fish molly (with coconut). You should also try the tasty parotas – a variety of local bread – that can be served with all kinds of currys and dips.
