TAMIL NADU & KERALA, INDIA

My travel blog dedicated to sunny South Indian. I land in Chennai and discover the magnificent temples of Tamil Nadu, with their altars dedicated to Shiva and the colorful gopurams. Then I walk in the green fields of Kerala: I wander around the lush tea plantations and sail along the backwaters, with their miles of canals bordered by lush palm plantations..
