Albert Einstein said: We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.

I won’t claim that I seen/know a lot about India and I don’t think I will ever have very in-depth knowledge about the sub-continent of India in my lifetime. This page will serves as a directory of my travel to South India beginning of Year 2006.

These are some of my favorite destinations during my tour to South India.
- Mamallapuram - the seashore town & a Dutch sculptor (John Boetes)
- Kochi and its Chinese Fishing Nets
- Mysore - the demon town with a beautiful market
- Alleppey - Backwaters of Kerala
- Ooty - The Blue Mountains (Nilgiris)
- Hyderabad (a.k.a. Cyberabad)
- Periyar Sanctuary - Elephant where?
- Aurangabad - Travel Hub to Amazing Cave Temples
- Pondicherry (bus conductor shout Pondi..Pondi!)

I was impressed by your different India pages. If I will be able to realize my dreams of travelling to India, I will have somethings to ask about this trekking opportunity.
