Tamil Nadu & Kerala · About three weeks
Dravidian India, east to west
A thousand years of temple building, coast to coast.
The journey
Dravidian architecture across the span it was built in — from small isolated shrines to temple cities covered in relief carving. The route crosses the peninsula through rice country, tea gardens and tropical forest, and finishes on the other coast.
