While the lofty Himalayas have been guarding the northern frontiers of India, the southern plateau has been washed by gentle waves of the oceans. The people here are from the Dravidian race and are very protective about their culture and traditions. But strangely it is the southern region which has been attracting most of foreign investment in the recent times. Infact it was on Malabar coast of Kerala that first foreigner from the West landed in India.

From the back waters of Kerala to exotic coral islands and lush green hill stations in Tamil Nadu all have a charm of their own. The Capital city of Karnataka, Bangalore can match any other city in the west. Recently this place has come up as the software hub of the world. Popularly called the garden city, Bangalore is one of most jazzy places in India. On the line of Bangalore is coming up Hyderabad. A quite city known for the Nizam rulers, Hyderabad is the second place in India which has a cyber city.

 Going further south there are excellent beaches and temples. Who can forget the ever beautiful Chinese nets along the coast in Cochin. Or the spices which are grown here. The coconut on the beaches give a pleasure which can not be described in words. The state capital of Tamil Nadu, Chennai formerly known as Madras is another historical place in the south.

The golden Marina beach in Chennai is one of the longest beach in the world. In south India one can enjoy crashing breakers on the shores or can enjoy the peace and greenery of places like Ooty. One can visit the historical places of Karnataka or worship in the temples of Tamil Nadu. Southern India had many things to offer, what you need is to explore the region.
