Once a prosperous Danish trading centre, laid back and calm Tranquebar lies 283 km away from Chennai. Surrounded by crisp blue sea views, enchanting historical marvels, and stunning resorts, Tranquebar is ideal for an extended rejuvenating weekend. The Tamil name of Tharangambadi, literally meaning ‘the land of the singing waves’, was rechristened Tranquebar after the conquest of the area by the Danes. The beach is at its enchanting best during dawn and dusk, and its calm waters are ideal for swimming and relaxing. Bird watching enthusiasts will find themselves enamoured by the large number of migratory birds that visit the region.
