Tamil Nadu Travel Guide

Before visiting this beautiful destination in South India, it’s helpful to learn a few details about Tamil Nadu. Carry a map of tourist places in Tamil Nadu for a hassle-free trip. Here is some more useful information about Tamil Nadu:

Food

South India, especially Tamil Nadu, has a wide range of delicious food for vegetarians as well as non-vegetarians. Most popular food items in Tamil Nadu are made from grains, lentils, rice, and fresh vegetables. However, spices are added to give a dish its distinctive taste. Spices are the main ingredient of Tamil Nadu food. The main food of Tamil Nadu varies from coastal areas to inland interior regions. While seafood is common in Chennai and Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu cuisine has different dishes to offer in hill regions.

Salem is renowned for its mangoes, Madurai is popular for milk dessert Jigarthanda, while Palani is known for Panchamirtham. The traditional food of Tamil Nadu is usually served on a banana leaf and is eaten with hand. Idli or dosa accompanied by sambhar or rasam are the highlights of Tamil cuisine. The special food of Tamil Nadu includes Santhakai, Chakkarai Pongal, Athirasam and Kuli Paniyaram.

Language

Tamil, one of the oldest classical languages, is the local language of Tamil Nadu. English is also a popular language in Tamil Nadu. Hindi is spoken and understood in major cities where the crowd is cosmopolitan. Most signboards and tourist information is written in Tamil along with English. The locals are fluent in basic English, if not in Hindi. So, there won’t be any major issues with language in Tamil Nadu.

Festivals

Pongal, the harvest festival of Tamils, is celebrated during the month of Thai in mid-January. Pongal is an important festival in Tamil Nadu, especially among the farmers. It is celebrated in Tamil Nadu over four days: Bogi Pongal, Uzhavar Thirunaal, Maatu Pongal, Kaanum Pongal. Natyanjali, celebrated in many Hindu Temples in Tamil Nadu, features classical Indian music and dance performances in February/March.

    Kajalsal

    Kajalsal's 6 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    The trip was well planned. There was no rush or chaos at any destination. The driver Mr. Srinivas was very friendly and talktive. He was alway ready to take us whichever place we want to visit without any complaints. The hotels provided are very neat, clean and safe. Hotel at Madurai was far way fro
    m the Meenakshiamman temple and other places. Hotels at Rameshwaram and Kanyakumari was very close to hhe major tourist places almost at 5-15min walking distance. It really help us to explore the city even better. Overall it was an excellent experience of travelling without any tension. Entire trip was a best to preserve in our memory. One thing I would like to mentioned is the local south Indian food we had during intercity traveling was best. Also, the exploration of wax museum in kanyakumari give us lots of funny and happy memories. Also the sunrise experience at Kanyakumari pier is one of its kind, it's mesmerizing.

    R's 5 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    Recently we went for a trip to Madurai, Rameswaram, Dhanushkodi, and Kanyakumari. I must say, our trip was well-planned by Travel Corp making us feel comfortable throughout. Our hotels at these 3 locations were superb. Our driver Arun has made our trip smooth with his friendly cooperation. We covere
    d all the places as included in our travel itinerary. We celebrated my daughter's 3rd birthday as a destination birthday in Dhanushkodi. We will forever cherish those heartfelt moments in our life. Mr. Abhishek from Travel Corp has addressed our petty concerns with patience and empathy. He was always at reach over a call. We thank him wholeheartedly for beautifully planning our journey as this trip remains very special in our lives. We will recommend Travel Corp for your future trips!

    Ankit's 2 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    Booking experience was very smooth and easy. Our stay was excellent. The resort was worth a 5 star. Food was awesome,staffs were very friendly and helpful. The ambience was superb, location is very good. We faced some problem regarding the car and the driver. The person is very money minded and did
    skip couple of places. Please try to assign a young driver next time. Also, take the full responsibility to pay the amount to the transportation and the resort/hotel next time. Please assign a good car next time as we had to wait for more than 2 hours in pykara as the car did not respond because of battery problem. Please keep these couple of points the next time I am planning any tour. The stay The places we had visited
