The journey

Discover the heritage and sacred coastlines of southern Tamil Nadu on this six-day circuit starting and finishing in Madurai. Begin with the carved gopurams of Meenakshi Amman Temple and the historic halls of Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal before crossing the sea bridge to Rameshwaram. Here, explore the corridors of Ramanathaswamy Temple, honour Dr APJ Abdul Kalam, and gaze over the waters at Dhanushkodi.

Continue south to Kanyakumari at India's southern tip, where three seas converge. Watch the sunrise, take the ferry to Vivekananda Rock Memorial, and admire the wooden architecture of Padmanabhapuram Palace before your return drive to Madurai.
