Overview

24 days between Mumbai and Chennai

This trip is the perfect combination of adventure and relaxation. For starters you've got Mumbai, India's most cosmopolitan city, where you’ll travel overland through the Western Ghats for a stay on the stunning beaches of Goa before heading to Hampi and into the hills for a homestay in the tea and coffee plantations of Wayanad. Back on the coast, you’ll explore the lush waterways of Kerala's backwaters by boat and spend 3 nights relaxing by the Indian Ocean before rounding the southernmost tip of India, Cape Comorin, en route to the magnificent temples of Madurai. Finally, travelling through Tamil Nadu you’ll pass through a part of the country many travellers never get to see, with a visit to the former French colony of Pondicherry and the stone carving capital of Mahabalipuram before ending our Indian journey in the bustling city of Chennai.
