5N South India Temple Trail Tour Package | Madurai to Kovalam

6 Days 5 Nights

Madurai, Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari and the Kovalam coast across five nights, covering Meenakshi Temple, Vivekananda Rock and southern beaches.

Meenakshi Temple in Madurai sets the tone for a five-night run down the southern tip of India, threading the pilgrim towns of Rameshwaram and Kanyakumari before easing into the Kovalam and Poovar coast. The route moves by private car so each temple town gets a full unhurried day.

What you see along the South India temple route

Mornings go to Ramanathaswamy Temple and the Dhanushkodi road past Adam's Bridge, then Kanyakumari's Vivekananda Rock Memorial and the 133-foot Thiruvalluvar Statue out at sea. Trivandrum adds Padmanabhaswamy Temple and the Napier Museum before two closing nights at Samudra and Light House beaches in Kovalam.

Who this tour is for

Five nights with breakfast daily, 3-star hotels in each town, intercity car transfers and eight included activities. Built for families and devotees who want darshan at the big southern temples without arranging their own drivers and stays.
