Useful Tips

If you have extra time, consider visiting the Marudamalai Temple, located about 30 minutes from the Sakthi Masala Factory. Alternatively, swap out the amusement park for a visit to the Dhyanalinga Yogic Temple, a peaceful space for meditation and reflection. For a shorter itinerary, remove the amusement park and spend more time at the spice factory or trying different restaurants.
