What our customers ask about Southern India Luxury Tours & Trips
What type of luxury accommodations can I expect in Southern India?
Southern India's high-end lodging includes carefully restored heritage mansions, sophisticated boutique hotels and upscale houseboats. The historic Chettinadu Mansion exemplifies this level of accommodation - an expansive 80,000-square-foot property built a century ago that houses just 12 well-appointed rooms, creating an intimate atmosphere where guests can experience both luxury and history.
How do the Kerala backwater experiences differ on a luxury tour?
Premium houseboats in Kerala's backwaters come with private bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms and dedicated dining spaces. Places like Coconut Lagoon set themselves apart with boat-only access, evening water tours, excellent bird watching spots, and waterfront swimming pools that blend into the landscape.
What kind of dining experiences are offered on luxury Southern India tours?
High-end dining in Southern India ranges from sophisticated restaurants to intimate home-cooked meals. The Fragrant Nature Hotel in Kochi represents this variety with three distinct dining venues, including a rooftop restaurant. Tours often include special arrangements for guests to join local families for traditional Kerala meals.
What level of service can I expect from guides on luxury Southern India tours?
Local guides on luxury tours bring both regional expertise and personal connections to each journey. Intrepid Premium's guides tap into their local networks to arrange special access to private havelis and create encounters that wouldn't be possible for independent travelers.
What wellness amenities are available on luxury Southern India tours?
Luxury properties across Southern India emphasize wellness through their facilities. The Lemon Tree Aurika in Coorg provides a pool, spa treatments and a terrace for nighttime astronomy. Kerala's resorts specialize in authentic Ayurvedic treatments, adding a local dimension to the wellness experience.

Luxury travelers should expect to spend between $250-350 per day in Southern India. A representative 14-day premium tour package costs $4,800, which breaks down to $343 daily and covers lodging, most dining, and guided activities.
