KERALA, peut être beaucoup d'heure passée en voiture? J'avais mentionné que nous ne souhaitions pas visiter trop de temples, ni musée mais plutôt découvrir la vie locale, des scénes de rue. Il me semble que cet itnéraire est basé sur la visite de temple et musée. Ne vaut il pas mieux se concentrer sur une seule région? Merci pour vos conseils. Nous nous posons peut être trop de questions. Nous devrions laisser faire les choses comme elles nous sont proposées....
