Overview
Tamil Nadu is the part of India where the temples were never interrupted. The gopurams at Madurai are covered in thousands of painted figures and have been repainted, generation after generation, for centuries. At Mahabalipuram the Pallavas carved whole temples out of standing granite in the seventh century and left them on the beach.
Between the temples the trip changes register completely. Puducherry keeps its French street signs, its yellow colonial houses and a seafront promenade that closes to cars in the evening. The longer itineraries carry on south to Rameswaram, across the Pamban bridge, where the temple corridor runs for something close to a kilometre.
We run 4 lengths of this trip. Pick one to see its route, its day-by-day plan and exactly what that version includes.
