Tamil Nadu (Chennai and Beyond)

Tucked away in the south east corner of India is the fascinating State of Tamil Nadu renowned for its remarkable temples, heritage sites, hill stations, national parks and scenic beauty.

Why visit Tamil Nadu (Chennai and Beyond) ?

  • Visit the beach front 7th Century temples of Mahabalipuram
  • Marvel at the incredible legacy of the city of Tanjore
  • Wander in the French Colonial streets of Pondicherry
  • Learn about the ancient Dravidian culture
  • Be blessed by the elephant of the Shree Meenakshi Temple in Madurai

Tamil Nadu is the cultural birthplace of one of the oldest living classical civilizations  stretching back over 2,000 years and still very much alive in the  language, arts and religion of the area.

When you have tired of the chaotic temple towns of the state, head south to to the old mansions and villages of Chettinad or up to the cool, forested sides of the Western Ghats.
