• For a large group, compare the 17+1 Tempo Traveller at ₹36,260 against the 16+1 Force Urbania at ₹58,500 — the Urbania seats one fewer but is the more comfortable of the two.

📍 About Tiruchendur — what to see and what not to miss

Located in coastal Tamil Nadu, Tiruchendur is a major pilgrimage destination centred around the revered Subramanya Swamy Temple. This sacred site serves as the second Arupadai Veedu and stands out as the only one of the six Murugan abodes situated directly on the seashore. The temple complex is marked by an impressive nine-tier gopuram that towers high above the Bay of Bengal, creating a distinct silhouette against the ocean backdrop. Right along the coast, visitors can visit Nazhi Kinaru, a remarkable freshwater spring located immediately beside the sea. A three-day trip from Chennai gives travellers plenty of time to explore the temple grounds, view the coastal architecture, and witness the unusual natural spring beside the salt water.
