Day 1 Chennai
An exciting mix of modern commercialism and tropical languor, check out Chennai's museums, palaces and bazaars or hang out with the locals along Marina Beach.

Day 2 Mamallapuram
Relax at the laid-back beaches of Mamallapuram. There is the option to explore the village by bicycle and see the beautifully weathered 7th-century Shore Temples.

Days 3-4 Madurai
This is southern India at its best. Weave through chaotic streets of bazaars, pilgrims, beggars and rickshaws or visit the Disneyesque Sri Meenakshi temple.

Days 5-6 Varkala
Take a dip in the Arabian Sea, sip chai at one of the clifftop cafes, practise some yoga or visit the 2,000-year-old Janardanaswamy temple.

Day 7 Kerala Backwaters Homestay
Nestled among palm trees, rice fields and the intriguing backwaters of Kerala, an island homestay is a chance to experience local life - and cuisine.

Days 8-9 Kochi
Explore the heart of Kerala on a local ferry. See spice bazaars, the beautiful Dutch palace and maybe even a Kathakali Dance performance.

Days 10-11 Mysore
Famous for its silk, incense and sandalwood, relaxed Mysore also has some amazing temples. Be sure to see the palace when it's all lit up at night.

Days 12-13 Hampi
Wander through the ruins of the 14th-century Vijaynagar nestled in an exotic landscape strewn with giant boulders. This ancient town also has plenty of temples and funky bazaars to explore.

Days 14 -16 Goa
The southern adventure comes to an end in Goa, famed for its beaches and easy living. The city's Portuguese influence is palpable in the exotic food and whitewashed churches.
