Coast to coast, Chennai to Cochin  takes you through the  two most southern states of Incredible India. Two states that are vastly different, to the point where even the language and the alphabets are not the same!  Tamil Nadu is known for it’s extraordinary temples whose sculptures, colours,  and the numbers of devotees who still flock there daily make these living, breathing monuments. Each visit is different yet always fascinating, this is a cultural  immersion   like no other. Kerala is much more gentle, full of natural beauty and warm, heartfelt smiles, it is  laid back, warm, the food is delicious and a destination that invites you to relax, enjoy and want to come back for more.
