Dindigul

A forest and coffee-estate getaway

Once a town that straddled the three kingdoms of South India’s dynasties, the Chola, the Cheras and the Pandyas – Dindigul is not on most traveller’s circuits. Located an hour or so away from the bustling town of Madurai, Dindigul’s forests and coffee estates offer a calm getaway on Tamil Nadu’s temple trail.
