Nelles Guide Reiseführer Indien - Der Süden

Travel Destinations: The Nelles Guide to South India familiarizes you with the vibrant diversity of the country - the bustling metropolis of Mumbai, the splendor of the past in Ajanta and Ellora, the ruins of half-forgotten kingdoms, the Portuguese heritage of Goa, the palaces of the Nizam dynasty, and the religious fervor in the temple cities of Tamil Nadu and Orissa.

History: Although the ancient Hindu kingdoms of South India have fallen, many of their magnificent temples and intricate stone sculptures remain intact. Early on, the "Land of Spices" attracted seafarers and traders, as well as conquerors. Often, traces of the colonial past can be found.

Travel Information: In the information boxes of the regional chapters, you will find restaurant recommendations, shopping options, opening hours, and important transport connections. The general travel information at the end of the book is helpful for trip planning.
