The Pearl of the Indian Ocean

Just 90 minutes from Bangalore lies an island of extraordinary diversity - ancient temples perched on misty mountains, colonial fortresses by turquoise seas, wild elephants roaming lush jungles, and some of the friendliest people you'll ever meet.

Light cotton clothes, but bring layers for hill country. Modest dress required for temples (covered shoulders and knees).

Money Matters

ATMs widely available. Carry cash for smaller establishments. Tipping 10% is appreciated but not mandatory.
