For a gentler introduction to India than the bustle of Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu holidays introduce you to a wealth of fantastic temples and archeological treasures that celebrate Hinduism in all its splendour. The 'land of many temples' (more than 30,000 in total) is often referred to as the cradle of Dravidian civilisation, very much in evidence in the shape of fantastic temples with towering rainbow coloured gopurams (gateway towers) and incredible intricate rock carvings. For cultural centres that double as staggering architectural wonders, plan visits to the magnificent Meenakshi temple in Madurai
and the beautiful Brihadisvara Temple in Thanjavur. For a complete contrast, head to the city of Pondicherry, where you will still find vestiges of the French colonial era, venture up into the hills of Kodaikanal, among the picturesque Western Ghats, to see one of Tamil Nadu’s finest hill stations, or relax on the beaches on the Coromandel Coast.

4.8/5
Our trip to India was epic. Original Travel did it again, a fantastic, well planned trip with all the things we like. Can't say enough good things about the app. We also love the Concierge service. It was such personal service. He was there for us throughout our trip, contacting us every few days as we moved from city to city. We knew he was a text away with an immediate answer to our questions. We love Original Travel and are hooked on the personalized service and effortless travel to remote areas of the world. It was truly epic, we can't explain our trip to friends because it was out of this world wonderful. I know our neighbours are heading to Japan with you next month and I believe a few of our friends will be contacting you too. We rave about OT. Thank you so much!
