Temples of Tamil Nadu

If you have already experienced the core landmarks of India, how about a tour that takes you on the path less trodden?

Our Temples of Tamil Nadu tour takes you through Southern India, following the old European trade routes.

You’ll travel from the beautiful former French colony of Pondicherry to the wonderful 10th century temples, finishing on the beaches at Covelong for a well earned rest.

Along your journey, you will visit the world heritage site of Mahabalipuram and experience the rich cultural and historical heritage of Tamil Nadu.

Discover the flamboyant temple architecture and admire the cave and rock temples, towering over the waves, decorated with elaborate stone carvings.

An exciting highlight of this 13 day tour is your evening visit to Meenakshi Temple, where you will witness the prayer ceremony, in which Lord Shiva is taken into the temple of his consort Parvati to spend the night, accompanied by singers, priests and musicians.

A private driver, private guided sightseeing, meals and flights are all included.
