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.

    Anmoljain

    Bengaluru

    Anmoljain's 5 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    This was the worst and the costliest trip of my life...all because of "book it forget it" travel company and travel triangle. Opposite to their name, they kept on forgetting the things and travel triangle guys also on the same pattern. Highlights of our trip:- While booking we asked them we need s
    edan car with carrier, travel agent confirmed the same thing, when we were about to leave from our home to railway station we called him again and confirmed the same thing , we had asked driver details couple of times he didn't shared those details (we were told that we will get driver details one day before of travelling). He shared us driver details when we were in the train, cleverly approx 7. When we called the driver he told me that he is not having carrier in his car as this is banned in entire Tamil Nadu (not sure if it true or not). When we asked same thing to travel agent he told us yes carrier is not available in car, You didn't tell us that you will be having more luggage.( Can someone please let me know what will be the other meaning of asking car with carrier on top of that) He forced us to pay extra 6300 rupees for some old model innova car. We got threatened by travel agent like pay 6300 or else deal directly with driver (Driver was from Madurai) At rameshwaram driver asked to pay 10 k else he will stop the trip. ( We had payed only 2 installments to travel triangle remaining amout was 15k + 6300( additional cab cost, agent told driver to collect the money from us and marked payment as done on portal) Rameshwaram trip and madurai trip was good as no more places to visit. On the day from madurai to Kodaikanal driver asked us check out late from hotel as his car is having some issues, he reached hotel to pick us at 12 , on hills car was not able go above 30 35 , 2.5 hrs journey become 5 hours journey for us. One full day wasted. For covering all the places mentioned in itinerary driver was asking more money from us and my travel agent was also forcing us to pay extra. Our Driver got changed 3 times during trip. Driver who was responsible for trip was not having proper plans to visit we were on same route for 2 days. All our time money energy wasted. Travel triangle guys also didn't listen to us, they told you directly deal with agent , agent asked us to deal with driver and driver was asking money for everything even for parking which was included in our package. This was our 4th trip with travel triangle 3 were good and this one was worst. No one was listening to our problems. Learnings :- don't believe in travel triangle and there agents this is the new way of looting the money from us, as we are out of city and had payed approx 80% of the amount to them. Note:- while talking to driver he told me that we are the 5th customer who are facing same issue, agent use to write many places to visit in itinerary which is not possible for us to go in same budget. How can I forget to mention our travel triangle advisor Abhijit...he was of no help worst fellow and worst company to book any trip. They are forcing us to give 3 stars if you give less stars your feedback will not be submitted. Nothing

    Sadyaja's 6 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    Trip was overall good. But the jack hilltop resort booked in Kodaikanal was pathetic. The room was smelly and it has mould growing on one wall.Very bad experience in that hotel. Other than that trip went smoothly and we enjoyed a lot. The cab driver mr. Pradeep was very helpful and polite. Visit to

    Hotels of Mysuru and Ooty good. Cab driver was average, chronic bronchitis, didn't gave proper information about park opening and closing time. Karnataka Siri Horticultural Garden, should be part of itinerary.

    Really good service right from the booking of the trip upto the very end. Support was always available. Hotel were what we expected. The cab was right on time at the airport for our pickup. Local cab driver helped us a lot, with the best places to eat, drink tea and shopping. I would surely recomm
    end TravelTriangle to my friends. Funny enough I was recommended TravelTriangle by my friend.

    Mumbai

    Shivanshu's 4 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    Our Driver Harsha Vardhan assigned for the entire trip did an amazing job. Special appreciation to him for making our trip memorable and easy. Our package was good but the itinerary could have been better with Coonoor toy train on last day rather than 3rd day as we had to comeback to Ooty all the wa
    y. And again go to the same route to reach Coimbatore airport. Hotel La Ruchi de Prince was very good including the wide range of delicious breakfast and the 5 star services. When we reached Hotel Kemps cave in Ooty on our 2nd day, we were shifted to Hotel Baron beside it but the rooms were good as per 3 star. But the food needs to be improved a lot as the dinner we had there was not that great. Due to which on 3rd day we had dinner at Anand Bhavan and it was super delicious. Overall it was a good experience and a memorable family trip. Ooty Lake boating was good. Pykara Waterfalls and lake can be avoided. Mysore palace was very photogenic. Mysore Zoo was good but you need atleast 2-3 hours to roam there.

    Bangalore

    Venkata's 5 days trip to Tamil Nadu

    Overall trip experience with travel triangle is average. The cab that was provided is not good as AC didn’t functioned properly. And the driver is either good nor bad. Little bitter experience we had with the cab and the driver. Supposed to get the cab changed as per the cab coordinator but he didn’
    t care abt it and the agent is also less bothered. For the next I personally will not prefer this agent and I will also suggest others also not to prefer this agent.
