Green Earth Trails · South India and Beyond
Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and the Lakshadweep Islands. Four distinct geographies, each with its own culture, landscape and reason to travel. Every program we design is rooted in deep local knowledge of these places.
Where we operate
Our programs span the full length and breadth of South India and extend out into the Arabian Sea. Kerala is our home territory and deepest expertise. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Lakshadweep extend that into landscapes and histories that are entirely different from Kerala but equally rewarding.
South India · Western Coast
Western Ghats, backwaters, coast and the most biodiverse landscapes in South India.
Kerala is our home. Years of programs across tea estates, wildlife sanctuaries, backwater channels and coastal fishing villages give us a depth of knowledge that no guidebook can replicate.
South India · Eastern Coast
Thousand-year-old temples, Dravidian architecture, Chettinad heritage and the French colony of Pondicherry.
Tamil Nadu is a destination of extraordinary depth. The Chola temple towns, the monolithic sculptures at Mahabalipuram and the colonial layers of Pondicherry reward a journey of their own.
South India · Deccan Plateau
Hoysala temples, the ruins of Hampi, Coorg coffee estates and Kabini wildlife corridors.
The 12th century Hoysala temples at Belur and Halebidu, the extraordinary boulder landscape of Hampi by the Tungabhadra river and the wildlife of Kabini make Karnataka a compelling addition to any South India program.
Arabian Sea · Union Territory
Some of the most untouched coral reef and island landscapes left on the planet.
Four hundred and fifty kilometres west of Kerala in the Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep is India's smallest union territory. Bangaram and Thinnakara islands offer a level of reef and lagoon beauty that most travellers never know exists in India.
Tell us what draws you to South India and we will recommend the right combination of destinations. Most of our best programs cross two or three regions in a single journey.
