Chettinad
This rural spot offers a welcome balance of postcard-worthy sights and rural calm, making it an ideal place to unwind before diving back into the more energetic cities of Tamil Nadu.
Its former inhabitants, the prosperous Chettiars, have left an indelible mark on the town and the grand mansions and temples tell the tale of the merchants who once lived here while the arts and crafts show their generosity. Chettinad is also known for its spiced curries with their coconut sweetness, making a particularly memorable meal when eaten on the veranda of a Chettiar mansion.
