Southern India

The five States and three Union Territories that constitute the Southern India region account for around 20% of India’s land mass and it’s here that more than 250 million people live. Peninsular in shape, the region’s coastline runs from the Bay of Bengal in the East, past Kanyakumari (formerly Cape Comorin) in the south to the Arabian Sea in the West, with an astounding 89 ports situated along this seaboard.
