Karnataka is an exciting destination, with its beaches and jungles, while Kerala is a true paradise.
There are many obvious reasons why vacationers experience FOMO (fear of missing out). Most individuals only have so many vacation days, and they want to pack as much sightseeing into those days as possible. Inadequate planning and itineraries lead to visitors spending too little or too much time in each location, resulting in a superficial or superficial vacation experience.
This is especially true if you want to visit a number of different places or areas all at once. The sheer size and variety of India’s geography and culture make it challenging to plan the ideal vacation. Travelling across the stunning states of southern India is a perfect illustration of this. Karnataka is an exciting destination, with its beaches and jungles, while Kerala is a true paradise. The states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana each provide their own unique landscapes and cultural experiences. How, therefore, can one see as much as possible of these places in so little time?
It is possible to visit all three of South India’s states in a week if you have your schedule and travel coordinated by industry leaders in the hospitality industry. If you just have a week to see Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu, here are some suggestions from Deep Banka, Chief Operating Officer at Zostel:
