      TravelerWritten May 2026

      this does look good! I was looking at another one that was perfect but it incorporates an Ayervedic experience, which we would love but would like to add on Pondicherry and Chennai at the end, however we don't want to be constantly travelling and preferably do 2 days in each place

    • Golden Triangle India ToursOperatorWritten May 2026

      If you would like to add Pondicherry then its will be very long drive from Kovalam and its almost 12 hrs drive.
