BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Distances are short, the standing is long
Two or three hours mostly on your feet on hard ground. Comfortable shoes matter more than fitness.
The route is public space
Markets, lanes and places of worship are where people live and pray. Ask before photographing anyone and cover up where others do.
Cash for the small things
Tea, a fritter, an entry ticket. Card acceptance in old quarters is patchy at best.
Ask what the group size will be
A walking tour of six and one of thirty are different products at the same price. It is a fair question.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Would send friends their way.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Tamil Nadu done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude.

Well paced over 4 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. No hesitation recommending them.

Tamil Nadu done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Good value for what's included.

Questions people ask

Both are open to all visitors, but the inner sanctums at Meenakshi and Ramanathaswamy are restricted to Hindus. The corridors, halls and ceremonies are open to everyone and are most of what you come for.
