Coorg, also known as Kodagu, is one of India’s famous travel destinations and has been called the Scotland of India by the British and also called as the Kashmir of South India. Located on the eastern slopes of the Western Ghats, Coorg’s natural beauty, the people, the culture, and the food is the major attraction that draws people towards Coorg from all over the world.
Coorg is rated as one of the top hill station destinations in India. Coorg is considered rich with wildlife and has three wildlife sanctuaries and one national park: the Brahmagiri, Talakaveri, and Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuaries, and the Nagarhole National Park, also known as the Rajiv Gandhi National Park.
Udhagamandalam or Ooty (sometimes called as Ootacamund), is a town and the district capital of the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu. It is located 80 km north of Coimbatore. It is a popular hill station located in the Nilgiri Hills. The town's economy is based on tourism and agriculture, along with the manufacture of medicines and photographic film. The town is connected to the rest of India by road and rail, and its historic sites and natural beauty attract tourists.

Thank you BoutIndia.com for an extraordinarily amazing travel experience! We took three tours: i) Best of Central India that includes Mumbai and Goa, ii) Golden Triangle and Rajsthan and iii) Southern Splendors. This Southern Splendors itinerary covers two of the best travel destinations of India - Tamil Nadu & Kerala. Our guide for this tour was Miss Shanthi. Shanthi was not only knowledgeable about history and culture but I could easily call her an expert on Hindu culture, temples, heritage and monuments of India. No wonder Tamil Nadu is a cradle of Hinduism and it would be innate to say that the state can boast to be a cradle of temples. W.... Read More
Himanshu was always responsive to my e-mail requests for information or changes to the itinerary and set up a lovely trip that covered the sites I really wanted to see. He also checked in with me every day of the trip to ensure I was satisfied. The guides were very knowledgeable and the driver very considerate. It was a lovely trip.
We enjoyed all the places we visited in India. What we really liked were the people we met along the way. Our guides and drivers were amazing. They were kind, thoughtful and full of knowledge about the places we visited. We felt safe and cared for during the entire experience.
This is my 2nd trip to India with Bout India within 12 months, which should prove that they are the most trustworthy and efficient travel agent if you ever want to explore the amazing country, India. What I love about Bout India is not only their professionalism but also their hospitality spirit and warm welcome to the country. ALL staff members are friendly and easy to communicate from the planning and the departure to your home country. They accommodated my 13 year old daughter and she is already talking about her next visit to India near future. Be open and experience something extraordinary!
Bout India provides a wonderful and a very high level of service. From the route planning stage through its implementation on the ground, Himanshu and his staff were attentive, flexible, and fully aware of the customer satisfactory. Very recommended.
Just back from an incredibly vibrant, colourful and enlivening 12-day tour curated beautifully by Bout India Tours. The team listened to and respected my requests for a mix of nature and temples and organised the most perfect trip in the time I had available, starting from Coimbatore and experiencing the incredible nature and hills of Marayoor and Munnar to then immersing into the majestic temples across Tamil Nadu all the way to Chennai. The team fully support the trip in the lead up to the trip and are in constant contact throughout the duration to ensure comfort and satisfaction all the way to checking in luggage at the final airpo....

We did 17 days in Southern India from Chennai to Kochi. The tour was amazing! Because we had our own car and driver, we were able to see so many things and had the freedom to stop for pictures, interact with local people and sample so many wonderful foods. Our driver, Raju was wonderful and his oft repeated phrase was “no problem sir (Ma’m)! He was a very safe driver through some perilous roads and was always there when we needed him. Our local guides were knowledgeable and good to help us learn and understand about the places and cultures. Our trip coordinator, Geet, reached out to us almost every day to check in and make sure everythi.... Read More
Such a great experience, magical atmosphere, wonderful landscapes. Friendly and welcoming people. The guides we had were amazing, very skilled and prepared. The driver made us feel safe and relaxed. The hotels were above our expectations.
Just returned from an amazing tour of Kerala and Tamil Nadu coordinated by the capable folks at Bout India. The sights were beautiful, the people delightful and the food incredible. Our driver of the trip, Mr. Dennis, kept us on schedule and made us feel comfortable and safe. He made the trip even more memorable. Mr. Navel, our guide in Cochin provided knowledgeable insights into the history of this wonderful city. Can’t wait to plan our next journey with the folks at Bout India.
Bout India did an excellent job in coordinating a 3 week tour of several regions that included multiple flights. Shakti was our driver for 2 weeks and was knowledgeable of all cities we visited and was highly professional. The vehicle was cleaned daily and stocked with snacks and drinks. The guides were specific to each city we visited and also knowledgeable. Everything was coordinated smoothly and airport pickups went without a hitch. We received daily itineraries from the Bout India office with information about the drivers and guides and their contact information. Any request was quickly responded to by management. Hotels were a mix of chain and local as appropriate for the city being visited.
