The route we start from
These are the stages published for this trip. A stage can cover part of a day or several days; it is not a separate travel day.
- Stage 01
Tiruchirappalli to Thanjavur
Arrive in Tiruchirappalli and transfer by road to Thanjavur. Spend the night there; no timed visit is attached to your inbound journey.
- Stage 02
Thanjavur’s Brihadisvara
Give the temple a morning of its own. Choose a shorter courtyard visit or more time with a guide, if one is confirmed. Return to the same hotel in Thanjavur.
- Stage 03
Gangaikondacholapuram and Kumbakonam
Travel to Gangaikondacholapuram to compare its Brihadisvara temple with the one you saw in Thanjavur. Continue to Kumbakonam for the night so the final temple is close to your base.
- Stage 04
Darasuram and departure
Visit Airavatesvara at Darasuram. End at Kumbakonam for a suitable rail connection or request a road transfer to Tiruchirappalli; for an early flight, quote an extra night rather than rush the visit.
