A series of digs carried out by the Archaeological Survey of India in a little village called Keeladi near Madurai unearthed artefacts dating back at least to the 6th century BCE.

These excavations allow us to take another look at theories of how civilisation began in south India. Was civilisation in south India really not more than 2300 years old? Or were there thriving settlements in these parts much before that time? And how were they linked to the Indus Valley Civilisation?

Join Storytrails for a special live session where we take you through the highlights of one of the most significant archaeological excavations in recent times!

This should be on everyone’s to do list!! I cannot recommend this tour enough. If like us you hate conventional tour guides but long to know more about a place then this is for you.

Chris and Sophie

I am a Mumbai native, but there were a lot of stories I didn’t know! Highly recommend this walking tour.

Madhuri

Thanks a lot! He enjoyed it a lot. Now, he know more history about India

Farha

An interesting way to see a city. It was more fun than your usual guided tour. Our guide was a good story teller, friendly and well informed.

Brigitte Konradt

Loved this! Forget picking up a guide book, you won’t find any of the ‘true’ history of Trivandrum in there! A must to any visitor to (and inhabitant of!) Trivandrum

Alexia M

Learned a lot about culture and the excellent food we tasted, the perfect start for our trip through India.I highly recommend Storytrails to everyone!”
