Chennai to Tharangambadi is very popular route for tourists. Forgotten to be touched by time and still known for its tranquillity, Tharangambadi is otherwise known as Tranquebar - The land of the singing waves.
"Tharangambadi is a town with golden history in Tamil literature, the town is famous for its rich culture and heritage."
Tharangambadi is a tiny beach town in Nagapattinam district that dates back to the 14th century. Placed at a dreamy patch at the confluence of the Kaveri river and the Bay of Bengal, Tranquebar is a beautiful playpen of many cultures. The Dansborg Fort that was built to start a bilateral trade can still be seen on the tranquebar beach surviving the test of time. In and around the little town, one can see mixes of the Danish, British, German and French colonies that once made Tranquebar their home. The best time to visit the place is between November and March. The summers make for an uncomfortable time as temperatures soar really high.
