 South India, the culturally and architecturally beautiful side of India, has many well-known places you have explored on your South India Tours. However, there are many unexplored south Indian places that tourists have ignored for far too long. These are the top 10 must-visit unknown places in South India.  

Vattakanal: Surprisingly, on the eastern coast of the Western Ghats, a small village known as Vattakanal, popularly known as Vatta or Little Israel. Because of the Israel tourists visiting here every October, the first place on our list can be an excellent place for your weekend getaway.    

Chimmony & Ponmudi: Another beautiful unexplored place to discover in the Western Ghats of South India, especially for wildlife lovers, is the Chimmony Wildlife Sanctuary, another escape from city life. If you are up for it, India by Car and Driver recommends the 6-hour trek to the Ponmudi Peak for a golden bird watching opportunity.   

Athirapally Waterfalls: The Athirapally Falls on our list is a little-known place, but it’s still undiscovered. The majestic views here, the 8 ft water flow, and the outpouring Chalakudy River will quench your thirst for a calm environment away from city life.  

Araku Valley: Do you love nature and wildlife? Would you like to explore a hidden place in South India? If your answer is yes, we give you the Araku Valley, a vacation spot in the Eastern Ghats for nature and wildlife lovers. 

Devbagh Beach: What can be better for a winter getaway than a beach in India? South India has many beaches, but Devbagh Beach is among the least explored ones. This beautiful beach offers a calm and soothing environment with various fun beach activities such as snorkeling, kayaking, banana boat ride, and water scooter riding for a memorable experience.    

Nagarhole National Park: The Nagarhole National Park has a long history with the Wodeyar Dynasty for being its hunting reserve, but now it’s an excellent place for wildlife lovers and nature photographers. Another fantastic thing about it is that it’s being considered for selection by UNESCO World Heritage Site. We hope it is on the list soon. 

Badami Caves: The Badami Caves is another unexplored historical destination in South India, North Karnataka. These caves remind us of the Chalukya Architecture. Previously called Vatapi Badami, the capital of the Chalukyas in the 6th century, a visit here will surely take you back in time.  

Pollachi: Pollachi, another least known and unexplored place 40 km from Coimbatore, is a small picturesque town you can visit. It has a great climate throughout, and you can’t miss the chance here to feel the refreshing breeze from the Palghat Gaps while standing outside with a cup of coffee.

Tharangambadi: An interesting fact related to its name is its meaning, “Place of the Singing Waves,” This sunny beachside town still lives up to it. A historical fact tells us that it was a Danish colony from 1620 to 1845, don’t believe us? Then you need to visit the Fort Dansborg, which still stands tall to date.     

Thalassery: It is fondly known as the Paris of Malabar, and to find out why, India by Car and Driver recommends you to spend an evening on the coast of this small commercial town, also known as the city of cricket, cakes, and circus.

So we have given you a new travel list. All you must do now is begin touring in South India. We recommend the Malabar Coast Tour Package, Kerala Tour Package, and Southern Grandeur Tour Package for an unforgettable holiday experience.
