By 1 – Kerala
The southern state of Kerala is the most famous of India. It is on the west coast with long trails of tropical beaches, and it is also full of forests and animals. Culturally it is also very interesting for the reason that here you will find Hindu temples, churches, mosques, synagogues and even in a state you can find the communist, making it a highly multi-cultural place.
With the treatments and massages of Ayurvedic medicine and dances of Khatakali, the most famous is the experience of Kerala canoe ride through the backwaters of Alappuzha and Kottayam. The Backwaters are rivers, lakes and canals surrounded by greenery and in which many people live.
2 – Hampi
The small village of Hampi is the most popular destination in the State of Karnataka. Formerly the town was the capital of Vijayanagara Empire. Today, there still retain many of the ruins of Vijayanagara Empire which are declared World Heritage by UNESCO. The landscape around Hampi is so charming and the best way to know is to rent a bike and climbing some of the mountains. I recommend the Monkey Temple, but forget to give bananas to the monkeys, you may have to run away chased by a few of them.

As many of you know the Vicente Ferrer Foundation is an NGO working in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India, particularly around the city of Anantapur, one of the driest and poorest areas across the country.
