Separated from north India by the Vindhya mountain range, the south Indian peninsula is bordered by the Arabian Sea and the Eastern Ghats on the east and the Bay of Bengal and Western Ghats on the west. The four states that make up this region, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala, have bequeathed south India with its rich diverse culture manifested through the magnificent architecture, stunning handicrafts, rich legacy of sandalwood, silk, rosewood and brass, and iconic classical dance and music. Through this extensive journey into the deep south, you can explore the diversity on this journey of discovery.

Walking up has been made easy too, with a long stone staircase comprising 1008 steps to the top.
