- NNone· December 26th, 2025This trip covered a lot without feeling rushed. From the airport pickup in Chennai to the final drop in Cochin, everything was well handled. The guide in Chennai explained history clearly, especially at Fort St. George and Kapaleeshwar Temple. Hotels were comfortable, not luxury but clean and reliable. I enjoyed the temple visits most, especially Madurai and Thanjavur. The houseboat stay in Alleppey was peaceful and well organized. Overall, it felt like a well-planned South India introduction.Show morePanda Experiences commented on this reviewDear Manaois, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about your South India Experience.
