Here’s WHY? 👇🇮🇳 South India generally is a winner, it’s like India on easy mode if you are coming for the first time, after seeing a fair bit of the south here are my ratings. Chennai - My First stop, partially my fault I stayed in the most chaotic area however I also got physically harassed at a market. Marina beach is cool & I like the traditional ‘old world’ feel of the city. Munnar - BEAUTIFUL scenery, but very touristy in the way yours are organised & the activities available (elephant riding etc). Bangalore - Innovative, Young, Energetic, Great night life & surprisingly diverse food scene - however probably the worst traffic I have seen in my life. Kochi - Love Kochi, beautiful clean streets, historic, diverse & friendly people. It’s a great place to see Kerala culture first hand with shows like Kathakali etc. Calicut - A decent city, friendly people but from a tourist perspective there is almost nothing to do. Surprisingly busy. Allepey - I had a flawless time on the backwaters of Kerala, it’s hard to compare it but instantly a 10/10 for being such a unique experience & a rare slice of peace in India. Palolem - Quaint small beach town in South Goa, gorgeous beach with plenty of restaurants to choose from. A great place to relax but does attract a bit of an unusual crowd of digital nomads & not so much infrastructure. Panaji - South Goa is better than North BUT Panaji is the one. Beautiful Portuguese architecture, great infrastructure, Wholesome people & amazing restaurants at all price ranges. Tourists cause a lot of chaos in some of the historic parts. ‼️ Special bonus - Baga Beach (1/10) - Just don’t go… Follow along for more content across this wild & diverse country #southindia #indiatravel #kerala - @jack_ofalljourneys
