The gateways of Bombay (Mumbai) and Madras (Chennai) are essential ports of call in any southern India holiday. They are the starting points for tropical Indian travel - slower, relaxed, even more exotic than in the north. Combine the gateways with travel to Goa, the coastal paradise located in South Western India; the destination is popular for its sun kissed sandy beaches, easygoing lifestyle, fenni and various fairs and festivals and makes an ideal beach destination or extension to a fuller Indian travel itinerary.
Bangalore and delightful Mysore are musts. During your Indian holiday you will also want to visit the old hill station of Ootacamund and Cochin (Kochi), the oldest European settlement in India and the starting point for the tranquil backwaters of Kerala's canals and rivers.
