TAMIL NADU HOLIDAY – A RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL TOUR
On this tour you will be experiencing most of the highlights of Tamil Nadu. You will be staying in a variety of accommodation including an eco friendly resort, a heritage hotel, a 'Hindu' ancestral property and a small resort adjacent to a cultural centre. You spend time at the beach, visit some of the historic temple towns of this fascinating state, stay in small villages and see the beautiful countryside of the hill stations and mountainous regions. You will have the same car and driver throughout this trip, so it will give you time to get to know your driver and build up a rapport.
