Activities In Tamil Nadu

Wondering what to do in Tamil Nadu on a family vacation or on a honeymoon? From boating in Kodaikanal to temple hopping in Madurai, read our detailed guide to popular things to do in Tamil Nadu to make your trip memorable.

Dravidian temples illustrate Tamil Nadu’s history in the same way Rajput forts characterize Rajasthan. Believe it or not, temple hopping is perhaps the most exhausting things to do in Tamil Nadu. Carved out of a rock or facing a lovely beach, temples in Tamil Nadu are ubiquitous. Meenakshi Amman Temple, Brihadeeswarar Temple, Mahabalipuram Shore Temple, and Rameshwaram are some of the famous temples in Tamil Nadu worth visiting.  

Taking safaris in Anna Zoological Park, enjoying evening walk at Marina Beach, water sports in Muttukadu, spotting animals in Guindy Park, catching a dance performance at Kalakshetra are popular things to do in Chennai. Sauntering around the boulevards of the scenic French Quarter, exploring the "Grand Canal", and shopping for Indian craftsmanship are top things to do in Pondicherry.

Boating in Ooty Lake, walking in Ooty Botanical Gardens, trekking to Doddabetta Peak, taking a ride on Nilgiri Mountain Railway, and visiting Tea Factory are popular things to do in Ooty or Udhagamandalam.  A short ride away from Salem, the hill station of Yercaud is a renowned tourist hub for coffee plantations, sightseeing tours, botanical gardens, and lush green hills. Just as rewarding as Ooty but more affordable, Yercaud is considered one of the best places for trekking in Tamil Nadu. Coonoor, the second largest hill station in the Nilgiri Hills, is another ideal base for trekking expeditions. Bird watching, trekking, walking through tea estates, and taking toy train rides are famous things to do in Coonoor on a holiday. Cycling around Kodai Lake, horse riding, shopping, and boating are popular things to do in Kodaikanal.

Visiting Courtallam Falls, Catherine Falls, Hogenakkal Waterfalls, and Tirparappu Waterfalls is one of the best things to do in Tamil Nadu in monsoon season. Travellers can hit the coastline of Tamil Nadu to find respite during summer months. Marina Beach, Elliot Beach, Mahabalipuram Beach, Kanniyakumari Beach, and Promenade Beach are some of the best beaches in Tamil Nadu along the Coromandel Coast.

When it comes to adrenaline-pumping activities, hill stations of Tamil Nadu offer most of the adventure thrills. Trekking in Western Ghats is as delightful as a stroll in a tea estate. Camping at Yelagiri Adventure Camp, picnicking at Jalagamparai Falls, and bowing before Lord Murugan at Velavan Temple are popular things to do in Yelagiri. Paragliding, zorbing, and rock climbing are other adventure activities to do in Yelagiri.

Mudumalai National Park is arguably the most popular places to observe wildlife in Tamil Nadu. The park is home to Bengal tigers, Indian leopards, sloth bears, gaur, deer, langurs, and Indian elephants. Vedanthangal Bird Sanctuary in Kancheepuram is home to about 40,000 birds including migratory species that come here in winter. Taking a safari ride to spot tigers in Anamalai Tiger Reserve near Coimbatore is another one of the top things to do in Tamil Nadu.

    Pccegoa's 3 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    Travel agent provided us reliable, decent and patient kannada speaking driver as requested. The places were well covered. But, I had opened my conversation to suggest places. She could have told me about longest drive over two ghat section from Ooty to Kodaikanal, which seems to be tiresome Also,
    no attempts were made to cancel the stay at Kodaikanal. We have to forgo stay at kodai. Overall, trip was good. Enjoyable and made treasurable moments

    Every thing is good. Payment screenshot should also be shared to customer regarding hotels as there is some gap between manager and receptionist even though you had done on time. Regular Follow up should be there regarding driver and hotel allocation before the trip inspite of customer calling every
    time.

    Praveendhr's 3 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    Hotel provided was just ok. Not that great. No toiletries were provided.when we requested. For an upgrade of the room they said they would charge us 1000 extra per night. However they demanded 1500 while checkout. But finally they agreed for 1000 per night which I felt bad on their part. They never
    told me 1500 extra per night. Same type of breakfast for three days. Travel agent did not call us a single time to know the status and Check if we have any issues. Expected call from the agent. Cab driver was an excellent guy. He helped us with all the tour details and always had right suggetion.

    I have booked the package with MM cabs. We had a very good experience with the travel agency. Mahesh is our travel partner. He has arranged a wonderful trip to Mysore and Ooty. Hotels in both locations are 4 star. ROOPA ELITE - MYSORE. This hotel was next level. The room was excellent and the ser
    vice was good. Enjoyed thoroughly in the hotel. Hotel DARSHAN - OOTY In hotel darsha , Lake view rim had been provided. The hotel is good but food is not upto the mark. He has arranged a nice cab. Our chauffeur(vijay) is excellent. He was very polite and friendly. Thanks mahesh for arranging chauffeur who can speak Telugu. A huge thanks to mahesh and team for making the trip wonderful.

    Lakshmi's 4 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    I have travelled multiple times through Travel Triangle and never had any issues with any of my earlier trips. However, I was bit disappointed this time for below reasons: 1. Tickets for toy train was booked only after following-up on previous day - 2 second class seats were confirmed in 2 differen
    t compartments instead of first class ticket that would have helped us to enjoy the train ride. 2. Travel agent was very polite till we made all payments. However, he sounded not so happy to answer query on 2nd confirmed seat number details on the trip. 3. Cab driver refused to follow the itinerary and said he knows places to be covered and shall take us there. 4. He was reluctant to switch on AC in forest area and switched-it on after we exited from there on return journey. However, cab driver was polite with us and drove us back home safely. We enjoyed our stay at Hotel Anika Palace - staff were very polite and looked after us very well. Loved the place as well. Its very cozy and comfortable for family and friends gathering. Overall, I felt we spent more time and money for the trip!

    Puneet 644

    New delhi

    Puneet's 6 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    We have shared my flight details to concerned person (Mr. Vikas) who was dealing for planning and hotel selection. After my confirmation to hotels. (2 nos. , they shared the quote and confirmed that hotels are tentatively booked. But next day, despite their confirmation, they have changed the hotel
    in coorg. This is first unexpected change. Next they were informed that final quote is 57500 including everything as flight is booked my myself. Then during first payment they asked to give Rs. 600 extra for first time travel triangle fee. Later i informed them that i had used travel triangle before so Rs. 600 should be waive off, In last Mr. Vikas and Ms. himanshi confirmed that it will be done as per given quote. But after first installment of Rs. 10600 , they asked Rs. 29300 for second payment , I did the same. During my last day of trip, Driver asked me to pay 18500 as balance. then i told him that 17600 is balance. He told me that they have informed to get 18500 for cab. Then i spoke to Mr. Vikas, he told me that you pay we will return the balance once u will get back. But no calls , msg from their side and no reply of my msg. this feedback is not for amount. It is just to give real experience that customer used to face. Travel triangle is big platform. they should hire professional people as partner. This is truely unprofessional.
