Important Note from My Experience:

  • You will experience heat all year long since all of these locations are in Tamil Nadu. So when visiting these locations, wear cotton clothing, bring an umbrella, and bring a liter of water to drink.
  • I always suggest early morning or late afternoon visits to avoid any rush in the evenings.
  • You need to stand in a queue for hours to get a boat ride. To be at the Memorial
