Furthermore, each state has maintained its own particular identity.

The major tourist destinations in South India are highlighted in this article.
List Of Famous Tourist Destinations in South India
Swastik Holiday is a best Tour and Travel Agency In Mumbai. we compiled a list of top tourist destinations in South India, which are given below:
Hampi, Karnataka
The laid-back village of Hampi, which is one of India’s most beautiful historical sites, was once the last capital of Vijayanagar, one of India’s most powerful Hindu empires. It has some remarkable ruins that are intricately linked with large stones protruding from the earth.
Badami, Aihole and Pattadakal, Karnataka
Badami (previously Vatapi), Aihole, and Pattadakal are all worthwhile stops on the way to Hampi. They’re densely fortified with monuments, temples, and remains from the Chalukya empire, which ruled from the 6th to the 12th centuries. Aihole is the birthplace of the renowned Chalukya architectural style, and the town is home to over 125 stone temples that, sadly, do not receive the respect they deserve.
Kerala Backwaters
One of the nicest things to do in Kerala is to cruise through the palm-fringed canals known as the backwaters. Time seemed to have slowed to a halt. It’s even better with Indian food prepares by a chef and cold beer on board the boat. You can spend the night on the boat, out on the lake, surrounded by peace and tranquilly.
Varkala, Kerala
Varkala Beach’s fairy-tale location, with a long winding stretch of coast and views out over the Arabian Sea, is enough to steal your breath away. Coconut palms, charming stores, beach shacks, hotels, and guest cottages along a paved promenade that spans the length of the cliff.
Fort Kochi, Kerala
Kochi, also known as the “Gateway to Kerala,” is an exquisite city with a diverse cultural impact. The city has been shape by Arabs, British, Dutch, Chinese, and Portuguese. The iconic Chinese fishing nets that line the shoreline are most people’s first impression of Kochi. Kochi Fort is a wonderful spot to walk about and explore on foot. It is full of architectural and historical landmarks.
Madurai, Tamil Nadu
The Meenakshi Temple, the most spectacular and important temple in South India, is located in ancient Madurai. If you only see one south Indian temple, make it this one! Madurai is a 4,000-year-old city that has remained a key hub for Tamil culture and education.
Pondicherry
Pondicherry (also known as Puducherry) was a former French colony on the east coast of Tamil Nadu that is now a separate union territory. It has a distinct French flavour and is a refreshing change of pace. Wander around the enchanting French Quarter and along the Promenade, soaking up the tranquil environment, dining in delectable restaurants, and browsing stores.
Mahabalipuram
Mahabalipuram (also known as Mamallapuram) is a seaside town about an hour south of Chennai with a strong backpacker and surfing scene. Set some money aside to shop because it’s also known for its stone sculpture industry. The Shore Temple, Pancha Rathas (temples sculpted in the shape of chariots), and Arjuna’s Penance are among the other attractions (a huge carving on the face of a rock depicting scenes from the Mahabharata).
