The South and Golden Goa
 Discover the oldest and most sacred cities
of India: each has kept the flavour of the passing generation that has set its boundaries
on its land: Mahabalipuram, Pondicherry where the neatly laid roads remind us of the
French colonial era, Tanjore which still bears witness to the splendour of Chola
architecture, ancient Madurai. But Southern India is well-known for its extraordinary
wildlife and lush landscapes. Witness the Periyar Lake, its herds of elephants, deer,
boars and colourful water birds. Embark on a cruise on the 'backwaters' of Kumarakom.
Finally, come to Goa, a tiny emerald land on the west coast of India, famous for the
harmony in which various religious communities have lived together for generations, its
gracious Indo-Iberian art and architecture after a Portuguese colonial presence which
lasted from the 15th century until 1961. |
