Meenakshi Amman Temple

Towering painted gopurams

The Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple is dedicated to Meenakshi and Sundareswarar. Early shrines date to the Pandyas, and the Madurai Nayaks expanded the complex hugely in the 16th and 17th centuries. Its colourful towers rise above the whole old city. Leave the car in a public lot and walk in.

Alagar Kovil

One of the 108 Divya Desams

Alagar Kovil is a village built around the Kallalagar temple to Vishnu, praised in the hymns of the Alvar saints. It is a key part of the Chithirai festival, when the deity travels to Madurai. The forested hills behind it make the drive pleasant.

Kodaikanal

Hill station at 2,225 m

Kodaikanal was set up in 1845 as a summer retreat and is still called the Princess of Hill Stations. The ghat road climbs through forests and viewpoints to a star-shaped lake. Plan an overnight stay to enjoy the cool air without rushing.

Rameswaram

One of the Char Dham shrines

Rameswaram is home to the Ramanathaswamy Temple and is one of the four Char Dham pilgrimage sites. It lies on Pamban Island, separated from the mainland by a narrow channel. Many families combine it with a trip to Dhanushkodi.

Pamban Bridges

India's first sea bridge

The old Pamban rail bridge opened in 1914 as India's first sea bridge. A road bridge was added beside it in 1988, and that is the route you drive across today. Stop at the safe viewing points for a look over the sea.
