The biggest worry for Tamil travellers going North is language and food. We built our Tamil tours to remove both.
On private tours your driver speaks Tamil – he explains places, helps at hotels and temples and takes you to South Indian restaurants.
On group tours a Tamil tour manager flies with you from Chennai and explains every temple, story and ritual in our language.
On group tours you get home-style South Indian food every day – idli, pongal, sambar sadam, rasam, curd rice and filter coffee, three times a day.
