Major Cities & Destinations of South India – that you can visit on your South India Holiday

South India’s vibrant cities are a potpourri collection of colours and chaos. For those who would be planning their first trip to South India, it could be daunting task to plan an itinerary that could cover all major tourism sights. It could start with a very valid doubt, “Where is South India”? Unlike the landlocked North, the south part of India is a tropical territory that runs from high Deccan Plateau, via the Eastern and Western Ghats and moves further south. Best lively beaches, spice-scented hills, impressive rivers and colourful populated cities are some of the highlights. South India is collectively used to describe the southern region of India that extends over eight Indian states. The names/list of these South Indian states or union territories are:

  • Karnataka
  • Kerala
  • Tamil Nadu
  • Andhra Pradesh
  • Telengana
  • Andaman & Nicobar Islands
  • Lakshadweep
  • Pondicherry

The lists of major or top cities of South India are:

  • Bengaluru (or Bangalore), Karnataka
  • Mysuru, Karnataka
  • Mangaluru, Karnataka
  • Cochin (or Kochi), Kerala
  • Calicut (or Kozhikode), Kerala
  • Trivandrum, Kerala
  • Madurai, Tamil Nadu
  • Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu
  • Chennai, Tamil Nadu
  • Vishakapatnam (or Vizag), Andhra Pradesh
  • Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh
  • Hyderabad, Telengana

Culturally, the southern part of India is different from the north, as its original inhabitants – the Dravidians, who were pushed to the south side of India by the Aryan invaders in North, had a distinct form of music, art, dance, architecture, dress, food and language. And though they had been invaded by Muslims (in the 13th and 14th century), to the most recent Dutch, Portuguese, French and the British; the region has managed to retain its strong identity.
