Beaches, a Danish fort, great temples, a pool day and good food: a relaxed two-day plan for families.
Karaikal is small, calm and surrounded by some of the delta's best sights. Here is an easy weekend for families staying at RK Resorts.
Saturday
Morning at Nagore Dargah and Velankanni Basilica, lunch on the way back, an afternoon at the infinity pool, and sunset at Karaikal Beach. Dinner at Crave.
Sunday
Drive up the coast to Tranquebar for Dansborg fort and its small museum, stop at Thirukadaiyur on the way back, and finish with a poolside dinner or a bonfire on the lawn, both on request.
If you have a third day
Chidambaram and the Pichavaram mangroves make a full, rewarding day trip. See all the places on our Explore page.
