About Mahabalipuram

 The beautiful city of Mahabalipuram is located in the Kanchipuram district of Tamilnadu, not far from Chennai. It is a historic town with a rich collection of sculptures and temples among other attractions. The city, under the Pallava rulers, developed a distinct architectural style that contributed greatly towards the advancement of the Dravidian architecture. Many of the monuments in the city have great significance. The Panch Rathas, made from granite rock, named after the Pandavas, Thirukadalmallai the temple of Lord Vishnu and the Sculpture Museum with many stone and wood sculpture are some of the main attractions in Mahabalipuram. The Shore Temple has been restored, but the antique look has been maintained due to the erosion of the carvings. The city also boasts a good collection of structures carved out of stone - Arjuna's Penance, Krishna's Butterball, and Mahishamardini Cave to name a few. The city offers a temperate climate with lovely beaches for a good stroll. It is also a good place to learn stone carving from the local sculptures. Mahabalipuram's boat rides and fishing trips make this a fun place to visit. 

About Kovalam

 Kovalam is a lovely little beach town in Kerala. Translating to mean ‘a grove of coconut trees’, Kovalam's name is truly deserved as many coconut trees surround the city. Kovalam’s three sandy beaches, separated by rocks, draw several tourists to this picturesque little town. These beaches are the Samudra Beach, Hawa Beach and the Lighthouse Beach. Apart from these beautiful beaches, Kovalam is also famous for being a wellness hotspot. Most of the resorts in Kovalam offer Ayurvedic massages, as well as yoga, herbal body toning, and meditation sessions. The Kovalam Surf Club on Lighthouse Beach provides basic lessons on how to surfboard, as well as rents out surfboards for those interested. Several interesting cultural programmes are hosted in Kovalam. These include the Swati Thirunal Music Festival, the Nishagandhi Dance Festival, Fandango (food festival), the Elephant Festival, and the Village Fair of Kovalam. Catamaran cruises are also quite popular among tourists visiting Kovalam. 

About Madurai

 Madurai- a city that has been in existence for millennia, a city that can be compared to ancient Rome, a city that offers a glimpse into the soul of Tamil Nadu. Madurai truly is the essence of this South Indian state where the legends and myths of ancient Sanskrit epics come to life. The city, one of the oldest in the country, also reflects everything that screams ‘India!’ in this modern age. With the time-honoured Meenakshi Amman Temple at its center, life in Madurai is driven by a booming IT sector. The city, which is the cultural headquarters of Tamil Nadu, is also home to a number of industries like automobile, rubber and granite manufacturing. With the sprawling and magnificent Thirumalai Nayak Palace, Mariamman Teppakulam, Alagar Koil and marvellously built Thirupparankundram Temple, it is no wonder that Madurai is often called Athens of the East. With a glorious history that can rival that of Greece and packed with energy, the city provides an excitement only a truly Indian city can offer. Madurai is a mine of stories, both old and new, waiting to be discovered by the curious traveller. 

About Kanyakumari

 Experience a journey to the southern tip of India, past the majestic range of the Western Ghats and sprawling green fields of rice paddies, to beautiful Kanyakumari, erstwhile Cape Comorin. Enjoy the thrill of standing on the very tip of the Indian sub-continent as the waves from three seas crash around your feet. Multi-coloured shells scattered across the golden sands give the beaches of Kanyakumari a vivid hue. Feel the goosebumps rise on your skin as you stand on Vivekananda’s Rock, a memorial situated on a gigantic rock 500m away from the mainland. The V-shaped continent at your back and the never-ending ocean before you, makes you feel as though you are standing at the tip of the world. Adjacent to this memorial, the Thiruvalluvar Statue rises more than a hundred feet to the sky, representing the teachings of the ancient Tamil philosopher, Thiruvalluvar. With a history that has roots in mythology, the temple of the Virgin Mother Goddess or Devi Kanya Kumari attracts millions of pilgrims every year. Being the location of the amazing confluence of Bay of Bengal, Arabian Sea, and the Indian Ocean, Kanyakumari offers an exhilarating respite from a hectic life.
