What people love about Safari Tours in Southern India
- South India 16 Days Tour
This tour gave me a amazing taste of South Indian culture and historical stops, especially Mysore and Cochin, were captivating, and the guides made the stories come alive. The wildlife experiences in Periyar and Bandipur were unforgettable. All the hotels were clean and had good service. But i suggest to upgrade your hotels for better comfortable stay due to American standard are different. The driver was patient and always had a smile on his face. Alleppey backwaters and the stay on the houseboat were pure bliss. Kumarakom was the perfect wind-down with serene views. Overall, a well-crafted trip with lots of variety culture and history.
- Cochin: 5-Day Kerala Tour with Munnar, Thekkady and Alleppey!
Fantastic tour with Taj Voyages. Everything went like clockwork from the moment the driver greeted us at Kochi International Airport to the moment they dropped us off at our hotel in Fort Kochi. The driver, Nissam, was on time every morning to pick us up and their choice of hotels was supurb. It was an interesting itinerary with the highlight being the overnight houseboat in Alleppey. An excellent tour company who kept you informed at every stage of the tour. I'd certainly use their services again.
- 5 Days of Bandipur National Park with Wayanad( ALL INCLUSIVE)
Our 5 day trip to Bandipur National Park and Wayanad was one of the most memorable travel experiences I’ve had in India. From the very beginning, everything was well organized, comfortable, and thoughtfully planned. Bandipur National Park was absolutely stunning. The early morning safaris were a highlight we were lucky to spot elephants, deer, peacocks, and a wide variety of birds in their natural habitat. The forest atmosphere was peaceful and refreshing, and our guide was knowledgeable, explaining the wildlife and ecosystem in a very engaging way. Wayanad offered a beautiful contrast with its misty hills, tea plantations, waterfalls, and scenic viewpoints. Visiting places like the Edakkal Caves, waterfalls, and spice plantations gave us a real sense of the region’s culture and natural beauty. The pace of the trip was perfect relaxed but never boring. Accommodation throughout the journey was comfortable and clean, and the local food was delicious. What stood out most was the warm hospitality and attention to detail, which made us feel safe and welcome at all times. I would highly recommend this 5-day Bandipur and Wayanad tour to anyone looking to experience wildlife, nature, and authentic South Indian landscapes. It’s an ideal trip for nature lovers and first-time visitors to this part of India.
