Kanyakumari:
Vattakottai Fort (Circular Fort) is a seaside fort built in 18th century as a coastal defence-fortification and barracks in the erstwhile Travancore kingdom. It was constructed under the command of Captain Eustachius De Lannoy during the reign of Travancore King Marthandavarma (1729-58) in the 18th century. It is rectangular in shape and covers an area of about three and a half acres. The fort is enclosed by walls 25 to 26 feet high, including the parapet, 29 feet thick at the front, 18 feet at the corners and 6 feet at the rear. The fort is made of granite blocks and, today, a part of the fort extends into the sea. It is a protected site under the Indian archaeological department. A major renovation of the fort was undertaken recently by the department, and the site is now a popular tourist spot. Vattakottai Fort is about 7 km from Kanyakumari. The sea is so calm and ideal for a refreshing dip. The small river by the side of the fort, and the green vegetation all around add to the scenery of the fort. Vattakottai Fort is also famous for the black sand beaches that is situated across its coast. ![]() Patmanatha puram palace .:king marathanda varma palace ![]() ![]() Can anybody tell what is the name of this fruit?..

New projects to boost tourism in TN
Tamil Nadu has decided to further exploit its potential to draw tourists by formulating specific packages combining pilgrimage, heritage and ecology. The packages being planned include a mega circuit connecting several temple towns of central Tamil Nadu; an East Coast circuit (pilgrimage and heritage) and a Southern circuit (pilgrimage and eco circuit), tourism minister S. Gokula Indira told the State Assembly on Wednesday. The mega circuit programme, aimed at improving tourism infrastructure in temple towns, will be implemented at a cost of Rs. 50 crore during this financial year. This will be funded under the Central Financial Assistance programme. The circuit would connect Tiruchi, Thanjavur, Kumbakonam, Mayiladuthurai, Sirkazhi, Chidambaram and Vriddhachalam. Destinations along this mega circuit would be developed, the minister told the Assembly. The minister said that the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation is planning to launch 10 new tours this financial year. They include tours to Nagarathar temples, Divya Desam temples in Kancheepuram and Tiruvallur district, Thirukkadayur temple, Thiruvudai Amman, Vadivudai Amman and Kodiyudai Amman temples, to Madurai , Tiruchi , to Courtallam and nearby areas, to Yelagiri hills, to Kolli hills and to the freedom fighters' circuit. The Helicopter Corporation of India and heli taxi operators have been contacted to operate heli taxi connecting important tourist destinations such as Udhagamandalam, Kodaikanal and Rameswaram. Cruise tourism will be promoted in association with Chennai and Tuticorin Port Trusts. Besides this, water sports and water taxis will be promoted along the Marina, she said. Medical tourism will also be promoted in co-ordination with the leading hospitals in the state. Similarly, wellness tourism, comprising yoga, meditation, ayurveda, spa and nature cure will be promoted in co-ordination with reputed institutions. The Government has issued orders constituting a core committee for promotion of medical and wellness tourism. http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper...cle3354772.ece |

I am sure we have lot of tourism places around each big cities of TN.
TTDC can explore this huge potential by planning 1 day or 2 day package tours based out of cities like Trichy, Madurai, Nellai, Salem, CBE... Friends, shall we discuss about possible package tour ideas here ?
