    Southern India, bordered by the Arabian Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Bay of Bengal, is a culturally diverse region evoking images of colourful, chaotic cities, Ayurveda retreats, dreamy backwaters and riverscapes, beautiful beaches and some dishes so "hot" they should be tried only by the courageous. Apart from some especially fiery dishes, the cuisine here is universally renowned as being delicious! Southern India ranks very highly in terms of social and economic development, the state of Kerala being the most highly developed, with the highest literacy rate in all India (over 89%). Southern India is home to many wildlife sanctuaries and has a tropical climate. The main religions here are Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Christianity has also flourished here and one of the oldest Jewish communities in the world is located in Kerala. Take all necessary vaccination precautions, make sure you get clued in on appropriate local customs and enjoy an unforgettable vacation in one of the most diverse and beautiful regions in the world!
