  Exploring India's most alluring region in greater detail even than the Rough Guide to India, the South India guide is the ultimate handbook to an absorbing world. In the south, the coconut groves seem more green and the rice paddies luminescent, people's faces darker brown and the vermillion caste marks smeared on them arrestingly red. Southern India is one of the more relaxed, congenial parts of Asia to explore, and the Rough Guide unswervingly points you in the right direction, whether you need a bus ticket to Ooty, an air-con room in Kovalam or advice about the Andamans.
