Tenkasi: A Relaxing 2-Day Itinerary in June 2023

  1. Day 1: Kutralam Falls
    35 minutes (14.4 km) from Tenkasi Town

    Start your day early and take a scenic drive 35 minutes north to Kutralam Falls, also known as Courtallam Falls. This waterfall is best visited during the monsoon season, when the water cascades down in all its glory, creating a stunning natural spectacle. You can take a dip in the refreshing waters or enjoy a picnic by the falls. Don't forget to try the local delicacy, the Courtallam Border Halwa, a sweet made from wheat milk.

  2. Day 2: Papanasam Temple
    30 minutes (11.2 km) from Tenkasi Town

    Start your day with a visit to the Papanasam Temple, located on the banks of the Tamirabarani River. This ancient temple is a popular pilgrimage site and is said to have healing powers. Take a dip in the holy waters of the river and seek blessings from the presiding deity Lord Shiva. After your visit, head to the nearby street markets to sample some local snacks like the banana chips and murukku.

Recommendations

Other local attractions worth visiting include the Agasthiyar Falls, Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, and the Coutrallam Eco Park. To maximise your fun, consider taking a guided trek in the Western Ghats or go on a boat ride in the Manimuthar Dam. Additionally, if you're interested in exploring the local cuisine, try the famous Tirunelveli Halwa or the Kambu Koozh, a refreshing drink made from millet.
