Once the capital of a great Indian dynasty
An outstanding architectural legacy of temples that are recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site
A thousand years ago Tanjore was the capital of one of South India’s greatest dynasties, the Cholas, and the architectural legacy left here in Tanjore’s temples is staggering. The Chola temples in Tanjore are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, with the finest example being the great Brihadisvara Temple. Spend a day walking around, rub shoulders with Hindu pilgrims, and take in the sights. If you’re interested in temple architecture it’s also well worth making a trip to the nearby city of Trichy with its imposing Rock Fort temple.

The Far & Wild Community...
We think that the best people to talk about an experience are those directly linked to it. Our website and brochures let the ‘real experts’ show their stuff… local experts, travellers & industry insiders. Look out for the coloured markers all around the site... they mean that you are reading something contributed directly by a person from one of these different parts of the community we are part of.
The best memories aren’t simply places and hotels, they are made up of experiences and people… so we connect with local communities, and strive for sustainable travel to make your holiday special
