6 South India Paradise Adventures
1. New Lonely Planet South India & Kerala - Goa (ebook Chapter)
This is the Goa chapter from Lonely Planet’s South India & Kerala guidebook.
2. Mumbai (Bombay) - South India & Kerala (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Mumbai is big. It’s full of dreamers and hard-labourers. It has the most prolific film industry, some of Asia’s biggest slums (and the world’s most expensive home) and the largest tropical for-est in an urban zone.
3. New Lonely Planet: South India & Kerala - Karnataka & Bengaluru (ebook Chapter)
Karnataka is an intoxicating cocktail that is quintessential India. It’s a winning blend of palac-es, beaches, banana groves, tiger reserves, ancient ruins and legendary hangouts. At its nerve centre is the silicon-capital Bengaluru (Bangalore), overfed with the good life.
4. New Lonely Planet: South India & Kerala - Andhra Pradesh (ebook Chapter)
Andhra Pradesh doesn’t have the flashiness of Rajasthan, but be prepared to dig for the jew-els; to wend through paddy fields and 500-year-old urban markets, to climb towering smooth-granite hills, and to feel the liberating uncertainty of being off the tourist trail.
5. New Lonely Planet: South India & Kerala - Tamil Nadu & Chennai (ebook Chapter)
Tamil Nadu is dynamic. Fire-worshipping devotees who smear tikka on their brows in Tamil temples may then head off to IT offices to develop new software applications – and afterwards unwind in a stylish nocturnal haunt in rapidly modernising Chennai (Madras).
6. New Lonely Planet: South India & Kerala - Andaman Islands (ebook Chapter)
The Andaman Islands’ opaque emerald waters are surrounded by primeval jungle and man-grove forest and snow-white beaches. The population is a friendly masala of South and Southeast Asian settlers, as well as Negrito ethnic groups whose arrival here still has anthropologists baffled.
