South India is home to some
of the most beautiful hill stations in India. Also, there are charming beaches
in South India perfect for spending a lovely summer holiday in India. The best
places for a summer vacation in South India are Kodagu, Coonoor, Munnar,
Kodaikanal, Ooty, Kovalam, etc.
Kodagu, also
known as Coorg, is a rural district in the southwest Indian state of Karnataka.
In the area’s north, Madikeri Fort has 2 life-size elephant statues at its
entrance, plus a Gothic-style church with a museum on its grounds. Nearby, the
Hindu Omkareshwara Temple dates back to the 19th century. Farther north are the
domed Raja’s Tomb, a burial place of Kodava kings, and cascading Abbi Falls.
Coonoor is a
