    Jonathan

    Asked on June 12th, 2024

    We are still making a decision about what part of Southern India would be the best to visit. We like the look of this tour and wondering Are there any other Tours you can suggest for these dates that don't require long days of travelling but rather to see as much as possible. Both my 24 year old daughter and myself have been to India previously, basically around the Golden Triangle, that's why we are keen to travel to Southern India? It will be the first time for my 22 year old daughter.
