Highlights
Two hundred years ago the Chettiyar merchants of Tamil Nadu ran a trading empire stretching from Burma to the Philippines. They brought back Italian marble, Belgian mirrors, Burma teak and Japanese tiles and used them to build 11,000 palatial mansions in rural Tamil Nadu.
Walking through the greatest of these mansions is unlike anything else in India. This two day Chettinad tour from Chennai also visits Sittanaval Cave, a 2nd century Jain monastery whose 7th century murals are painted in vegetable dyes and whose acoustics were engineered to aid meditation, and the Athangudi tile workshop where handmade floor tiles coveted by architects worldwide are still made from local sand and mineral pigments.
Return flights from Chennai, private car, expert guide both days and overnight mansion stay included.
5 Senses Tours is recognised by the Department of Tourism, a winner of the Outlook Responsible Tourism Award and the Tripadvisor Travellers Choice Award.
