To overcome those hurdles easily, you can find look-alike destinations of other countries in South India. You can visit all those destinations in South India with a minimal amount of time and money. Foreign destinations, like places in South India, are best explored. India was ruled by different dynasties or empires in different parts of India. They left, but their architecture and food habits stand still and speak their fame. Some places look similar in their country. We have handpicked those similar destinations geographically and presented them to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Azores &amp; Munnar<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">France &amp; Pondicherry<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hawaii &amp; Skandhagiri<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Scotland &amp; Coorg<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Niagara &amp; Athirapally falls<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Venice &amp; Alleppey<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Greek island &amp; Andaman<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rome &amp; Hampi<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Azores &amp; Munnar:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Azores island is an island group in the western part of Portugal, known as <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tea Town of Europe. South <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">India\u2019s<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> tea town and famous hill station, Munnar, looks like the Azores.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">France &amp; Pondicherry:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Pondicherry is aptly known as a French colony of India because the French culture is deeply rooted, and everywhere you can see French architecture. Roads of France and Pondicherry are similar in their buildings and pastries.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hawaii &amp; Skandhagiri:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Trek the mountain to see the sun rise above the clouds.

The green carpet worn in the mountains and the climate in Coorg make us think of Scotland.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Niagara &amp; Athirapally:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">World-famous Niagara waterfalls in Canada have gallons and gallons of water cascading from huge rocks, which connect the<\/span> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">US. Athirapally is often referred to as the<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> \u201c<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Niagara of Indi<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">a\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Venice &amp; Alleppey:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Points of parity between Venice &amp; Alleppey are WATER. Boats are the most common mode of transportation in the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">City<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. People sail through the waters to ply around in the <\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">city<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Greek island &amp; Andaman:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The common thing about them is pristine clean beaches and clear water. A<\/span> <span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Greek island is like the Andaman based on the geographical conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Rome &amp; Hampi:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Stone architecture makes Rome &amp; Hampi look similar.
