Activities In Tamil Nadu

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.

Gaurav's 4 days trip to Tamil Nadu

Experience was good. All things went smooth. The last though was very bad. Neither the room nor the food there was good. For getting rooms everywhere we have to wait for 30 mins despite reaching after checkin time because they don't have confirmation of booking. So that's can be improved. Cab person was nice. He drove safe and drop us on time.

Advprasad's 3 days trip to Tamil Nadu

Overall, the trip was designed and organised well. Appreciations to Mr Sachin. Hotels are good at all the places, particularly Grand Ashok at Thanjavur is excellent in all aspects. Whereas, the Grande Inn at Trichi is good but very small in size , hardly any space to move , keep the luggage, definitely not suitable for guests on holidays. Hotels at other places are good. Special appreciation to Mr. Chammy, the driver who is sincere, committed, courteous, highly knowledgeable about the itenery. The car provided was Ford Figo considerably a good vehicle but some issues in AC. This should be ensured in future. Finally, thanks to Travel Triangle for well organised tour.
