Velankanni, Nagore & Thanjavur

Trip overview

The Brihadeeswara temple at Thanjavur, then Velankanni's basilica and the Nagore Dargah, three faiths along the Kaveri delta coast.

The route spends 1 night in Thanjavur and 2 nights in Velankanni, so you get time for the main sights without changing hotels every day. It suits pilgrimage tours and cultural holidays, and every day can be shortened, swapped or extended.

1. Thanjavur 1N
2. Velankanni 2N

Good to know
