Journey through Southern India 

Having already seen some of the extraordinary sights that northern India could offer, sixty-somethings Mark Probert and his best friend Nick Lindsay return to explore southern India. As with their previous trip, the tone is set on day one – in this case narrowly avoiding stirring up civil unrest during a political rally. Their grin-out-loud adventures will have you smiling and cringing at the same time. Being India, the journey unearths some philosophical issues, many unexpected pleasures, white-knuckle car rides, and lots of delightful curries.
Travel with Mark and Nick as they:

• Enjoy World Cup cricket in Pune
• Meet the internationally famous yoga guru, Prashant Iyengar, at the Iyengar Institute
• Swim in the Arabian sea in Goa and taste its regional delicacies
• Visit the awe-inspiring archaeology of Hampi, once the second largest city in the world
• Look up at the largest bust in the world
• Enjoy a proper cuppa in a tea factory in Munnar
• Drift serenely through the backwaters of Alleppey, staying overnight on a houseboat
• Explore the Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai, the Taj Mahal of southern India
• Enjoy the French quarter in Puducherry and marvel at the bold cultural experiment of nearby Auroville
• Walk in the footsteps of Robert Clive in Chennai

Journey through Southern India is the fourth book in Mark Probert’s Journey through series that celebrates the power of travel to uncover amazing places and people.
Join Mark and Nick as they discover that there is so much more to discover in India than the famous golden triangle in the north.
