Start > Goa or Hyderabad & end >Sri Lanka. I would love a suggested itinerary taking in southern India. In reality I have 2-3 months. Best routes with consideration TO EASE OF transport without much backtracking. Arrival Sept 1 - by myself - pensioner's budget. Can include flights if necessary. NOT TO INCLUDE EAST COAST.

Indicate mode of transit between stops, and how many days likely at each. Thanks to all the kind people out there !!

Emphasis on; 1) MONUMENTS, TEMPLES, FORTS, HISTORY

2) MUDUMALAI & PERIYAR PARKS

3) INTERACTIVITY - BOAT TRIP, BIKING, TRAIN JOURNEY

4) REGION / FROM GOA TO HYDERABAD TO KOCHI TO MADURAI end SRI LANKA

5) OCCASIONAL rest stop at Beach town with access to excellent Indian cuisine

6)Hampi, Badami, Bijapur - maybe tour

Any help is appreciated,

CiWi

58k south of Chennai is Mamallapuram, Mahabalipuram, or Mahabs.
It has a very old sea shore temple & great carvings in a park not far fm the beach. It cost 60 R on the bus fm Chennai. Or you can hire a cab for around 1500R.
Another 60K south of Mahabs is Puducherry.
Sri Lanka is very nice. I landed and had a hotel destination. Nextime I will land and just look for a hotel,,,,,,,
Look Mahabs & Puducherry up on wikitravel or something you like.
Mahabs is also a surfing town and there is an invitational contest the 2nd week of Aug..waves permitting.
Have Fun.
