Top 5 Places to Visit in Tamil Nadu
Loaded with Dravidian culture and a touch of exotic ambiance, Tamil Nadu is considered to be one of the finest states to visit. Whether it's the intricate temples, the lush hill stations, or the panoramic beaches, Tamil Nadu sums up as an ideal place to detox.

One of the state's interesting facts is that it shares a border with the most visited places in India, which is yet another reason it is a popular destination. If you are planning an intra-state trip, Tamil Nadu is a good place to start. Tamil Nadu is bounded on the west by Kerala, on the north by Karnataka, on the east by Andhra Pradesh, and on the south by the Union Territory of Puducherry. The state has a nearly 800 km (497 mi) coastline and is home to the Bay of Bengal.

Tamil Nadu's history is long and complex, with numerous dynasties contributing to its development. The present-day Tamil Nadu region has been inhabited since prehistoric times. From around the third century BCE to the third century CE, the Tamil Sangam Dynasty ruled the region for the first time. Following that, the Chola Dynasty ruled the region for nearly four centuries, from the ninth to the thirteenth centuries CE. The Pandyan Dynasty ruled the region for about two centuries, from the 13th to the 16th centuries CE. From the 16th to the 17th centuries CE, the region was briefly ruled by the Vijayanagara Empire. From the 18th century CE to the 20th century CE, the region was ruled by the Mysore Kingdom. Madras, which became Tamil Nadu in 1969, was established in 1950.

So, without further ado, let's dive in and discover the top 5 places to visit in Tamil Nadu.
