Wildlife sanctuaries alive with animals and birds of every sort invite the nature tourist to explore the mysteries of Mother Nature. Graceful dance forms like the Bharatanatyam, Kathakali and the Mohiniaattam, beautiful kolams (intricate designs drawn on the ground with rice powder) that adorn entrances to homes and a large variety of cuisines for the palate are all an integral part of the experience of south India.
