Kerala and Tamil Nadu Tour Packages: how this trip works
Kerala and Tamil Nadu share the southern tip of India, and a route that links them covers hills, backwaters, temples and the sea. It goes from Kerala's greenery to Madurai's temple and then on to Rameswaram and Kanyakumari.
The travel distances are manageable, which makes this one of the easiest long circuits in the country.
How to split your nights
| Stop | Suggested nights | Why it is on the route |
|---|---|---|
| Munnar | 2 | Tea hills. |
| Thekkady | 1 | Periyar and spices. |
| Madurai | 1 | Meenakshi Amman Temple. |
| Rameswaram | 1 | The Ramanathaswamy Temple. |
| Kanyakumari | 1 | The southern tip. |
| Kovalam or Thiruvananthapuram | 1 to 2 | A beach finish. |
Total: 9 to 10 nights. Adjust the split to your dates and pace.
