This tour package is designed to give you
some of the less popular beaches, which are, in true sense, no less than a
lifetime journey into a newer world of beaches.The tour package includes
most of the important places around Chennai such as Mahabalipuram and
Pondicherry and offers the traveller to experience the more charming and
pristine face of Tamil Nadu. The tour not only lets one see the beautiful
and serene beaches, but also mixes a rather contrasting effect of arts and
culture along with it. This six day tour would definitely entice your
aesthetics.
