A couple of years ago we made a 5 weeks trip from Goa to Trivandrum on the south west coast of India. A fascinating area with beautiful old monuments, temples, markets and countryside. The Portuguese influences in Goa area, the world monuments of Hampi, the cave temples of Badami in combination with the country life and the Hindu festivals in Madurai made it a very special trip. |
