1. Hampi, a world heritage site, takes you back into time. And when I say time, its just not a few hundred years back, of which there are many ruins still in place. The visit takes you several thousand years back, into the Ramayan era. Of course, for that you have to have some belief in the Ramayan.
2. Hampi is a breathtaking natural landscape of huge granite rocks, a wide river and an ancient city packed with temples and buildings dating back centuries. It's a little off the beaten track but I got there by motorcycle tour on an Enfield Bullet with LiveIndia.co.uk. Make sure you see the Monkey Temple at sunset, 600 steps straight up but well worth the climb.
Pondicherry
Pondicherry is one of the few places in India that reflects the contribution French culture made to our heritage.
Its respectful and safe culture and bohemian vibe have made this city one of the top tourist places for solo travelers in South India.

1. During last year, I went with my family to Pondicherry which is a peaceful city as nobody is in a hurry or rush to do something. We felt that it is a great place to relax. Railway Station, bus stop, restaurants, movies, hospitals etc are not far from each other.
2. This place is really best place to have a stressfree life from your job life for some period untill you are in Pondicherry. This place have amazing weather, various kinds of animals, plants and much more. You people can surely make a family plan to Pondicherry. And you will surely not regret it.

Munnar
With misty clouds and rolling green hills, Munnar has often been named one of the most picturesque hill stations of South India.
It almost seems as though the place is carpeted with tea plantations.

There are splendid waterfalls to bathe in and trekking trails to walk along.
