A Luxurious Getaway – Inspirations of Chettinad

As travellers, we’re often looking for undiscovered gems, looking to fly under the tourism radar. Karaikudi, somehow, defies the commercial tourism trend and remains blessedly authentic.

Karaikudi, a group of 76 villages, is known for its famed Chettinad mansions – built by the incredibly prosperous and wealthy Nattukottai Chettiars in the 19th century. Just looking or admiring these mansions from afar will do your trip no justice.

Which is why this trip has organised a stay at one of the impossibly luxurious mansions for you to experience first-hand the sumptuous lifestyle, heritage and luxury of the Chettiar merchants. There is no better way of seeing Karaikudi than by getting pampered at one of the storied mansions you’ve only ever heard or read about. In fact, we stay in a restored mansion!

Your super luxe weekend will include visits to the famous Chettinad Temples, eating the delectable Chettinad food, and visiting a 17th century fort! And don’t forget to pick up some of the local Chettinadu Sari’s as a souvenir.
