Our family has kept a sweet stall in the Vadasery market of Nagercoil since 1965, which means sixty years of giving directions, recommending sunrise spots, and telling train travellers what survives the journey home. These guides put all of that in one place — the itineraries, temples, forts, seasons, and food culture of India's southern tip.
