I recently traveled on the Golden Chariot Jewels of South, and it was an incredible experience! The journey through Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala was filled with breathtaking sights, from the stunning Mysore Palace to the ancient temples of Tamil Nadu. Cruising the backwaters of Kumarakom was a highlight. The luxurious train and exceptional service made the trip even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore South India's rich culture in style!
