Tamil Nadu's hidden gems and fascinating facts
- Tamil Nadu tour packages should pick a spine: temples (Madurai–Rameswaram–Kanchipuram), hills (Ooty), or coast (Mahabalipuram–Pondicherry).
- ShikBaris Holidays is based in Madurai — temple-town logistics are what we do every week.
- Chennai and Madurai are the two natural airports.
- Chettinad food and mansions fit a southern circuit without extra theatre.
- We will not sell “15 temples in 5 days” as a quality holiday.

Tamil Nadu tour packages with ShikBaris start from Madurai or Chennai and stay private: Meenakshi, Rameswaram, Chettinad, Kanyakumari, Mahabalipuram or Ooty — chosen to match your nights, not a poster.
