Tea-estate bungalows, backwater stays, French-quarter courtyards. The South India trip when you're tired of doing things.
Some trips are for ticking off forts. This is the other kind. Stays from Munnar to Pondicherry where the day's plan is breakfast, a walk, a long lunch, a longer nap. The kitchens come stocked with filter coffee. The hammocks come pre-installed.
