Tamil Nadu Tourism

Sharing boundaries with the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Kerala, Tamil Nadu has an unbroken coastline, edging the Bay of Bengal. Witness the bewitching landscape of Tamil Nadu that is replete with dense forests, cultivated farmlands and rocky outcrops as well as its exotic Dravidian culture that has been shaped and influenced by the ancient Chola, Pallava and Pandya dynasties. The major cities that form the nucleus of Tamil Nadu Tourism are Chennai, its capital city, Madurai, Kodaikanal, Rameshwaram, Kanchipuram, Tanjore and Mahabalipuram.

Feel the warm azure waters caress your feet and the golden sand as you walk bare feet along the shores of Tamil Nadu that are home to some of the most amazing beaches in South India.
