About Chennai & Tirunelveli
A

Chennai
Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu, is India's fourth-largest city and one of its most culturally vibrant metropolises. Known as the 'Gateway to South India', the city stretches along a long sandy coastline on the Bay of Bengal. Chennai seamlessly blends colonial heritage, Dravidian culture, classical music and dance, a thriving film industry (Kollywood), and a robust IT sector. Its cuisine — from idli-dosa breakfast to Chettinad specials — is legendary across the country.

Destination
Tirunelveli
Tirunelveli is an ancient city in the southernmost part of Tamil Nadu on the banks of the Tamirabarani River, the only perennial river in Tamil Nadu. One of the oldest cities in South India, Tirunelveli has been a significant centre of Tamil culture, trade, and religious devotion since the Pandya period. The city is world-famous for Tirunelveli Halwa — a ghee-laden wheat-based sweet with a distinct golden colour — and for its grand Nellaiappar Temple. It is also a gateway to hill stations and the Western Ghats.
Top Attractions in Tirunelveli
