South India Foodie Grand Tour
Six cuisines, six regions, one Travel Manager the whole way.
The route
A deep south-India food arc: Madurai's banana-leaf tradition, Chettinad's mansion dinners, Kerala's Sadhya, and two hill-country tea and coffee trails.
Day by day
Madurai
The banana-leaf tradition, Meenakshi Temple, and a working tour of the city's idli-and-dosa breakfast architecture — followed by a filter-coffee "laboratory" tasting.
Karaikudi — Chettinad
A Chettinad chicken and fish feast, hosted inside a real Chettiar mansion in Karaikudi.
Kochi
Sadhya on a banana leaf, Malabar parotta and biryani, and a toddy shop visit with a vetted host.
Munnar — tea trail
Tea-estate mornings and a cardamom-and-pepper spice trail, staying in a planter's bungalow.
Madikeri (Coorg)
Coffee estates and Kodava cuisine, continuing the spice trail from a different angle.
Bangalore, send-off
A slower final stretch, packing help, and an airport drop timed to your flight.
