What people love about touring Tamil Nadu solo
- 14 Days Romantic Tamil Nadu Tour Package (ALL INCLUSIVE)
I just returned from South India after having 2 wonderful weeks. We took 14 Days Romantic Tamil Nadu Tour Package from Mytravelcon and Hemender singh, the manager of the company, which offered an all-inclusive experience that left me and my husband feeling pampered and rejuvenated. This package was specifically designed to showcase the beauty and culture of Tamil Nadu, while also providing ample opportunities for relaxation and romance. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a personalized itinerary that caters to our preferences. The package included everything from airport transfers to accommodations, meals, and activities. We won't have to worry about a thing, as Hemender singh ensured that every single detail was taken care of . The tour took us through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Tamil Nadu, including the stunning hill stations of Ooty and Kodaikanal, the serene backwaters of Alleppey, and the vibrant city of Chennai. We had the chance to explore ancient temples, indulged in local cuisine, and took part in cultural activities that gave us a deeper understanding of Tamil Nadu's rich history. I took this as a private tour because we were looking for some alone time with my husband, the package included plenty of opportunities for romance. We took a leisurely boat ride on the backwaters, enjoyed a candlelit dinner under the stars, or simply relax in the comfort of our private villa. Overall, the 14 Days Romantic Tamil Nadu Tour Package was the perfect choice for couple like us who wanted to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect in a beautiful and romantic setting. Finally I would say this that this 2 week time was an incredible opportunity to create lasting memories with the one you love. Thanks Mytravelcon for our wonderful memories of the tour.
