Top 10 Budget-friendly Things to do in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu
The buildings and monuments in Tirunelveli are astonishing. The famous Nellaiappar Temple in particular is a kaleidoscopic feast, an explosion of color and detail that’s supported by musical pillars. Needless to say, it should be on your itinerary. Tour a nearby tea plantation, enjoy the cooling cascade of one of the area’s many waterfalls, or nibble on halwa (a local sweet) while you take in a Tamil film at the Central Theatre.

This is a Paadal Petra Sthalam. Very historic temple. This is the Hall of Paintings or Chitra Sabai of the 5 Sabais or Pancha Sabais of Nataraja. The temple itself is shaped like a conch. The Chitra Sabai is located away from the main temple and should be missed.

We visited Agasthiyar Falls in the middle of February. The falls is surrrounded by lush green forest and the whole place looks magical. The waterfalls is quite good with a wall dividing the men and women bathing area. Water is heavenly with lots of herbs. The force of the water is surpringly heavy though the height is around 25 ft only. The surpring thing is that all animals roam here after 5:00 p.m. so we have to leave by 4:30 p.m. In all the whole experience left me thrilled. Will definitely go back again

Happy to write this comment on the day of Kattabomman Birthday today(Jan 3rd). Have visited this place many times. This time took my family and especially my son who has a book to study about Kattabomman history in his curriculum. It is a historical site and not a tourist location. About 4 KM drive from the main 4 way lane from Kurukuchallai arch in the Tuticorin-Madurai highway. Little dry drive with lots of cattles roaming around and few houses. There is a small shop outside the fort which will help you to get some snacks, water and ice cream. Rs. 2 INR is charged as entrance fee. 1) Get into the fort and understand the history through the paintings which has both Tamil and English descriptions. Replica of the fort painting available at London Muesuem is available as well. 2) Visit the old fort area, now fenced by the ASI India, to understand the attempt to rebuild the fort using jaggery in 6 days. Royal court , kitchen, some rooms and old utensils used could be visible from outside 3) Some of the mani mandapam's (Bell tower) outside the fort area are visible as well About 1 hour can be spent and can be relaxed under the tree shade for a while before returning back. MUST visit for family, kids and any history lovers. It is NOT a tourist attraction.Govt should consider improving the surrounding Garden area.

Main falls, five falls and old falls are few around the area. Force of water is heavy and very refreshing. Beware of monkeys all around the place. Advisable not to carry any valuables while going to falls as hard to monitor with lot of people around. Lockers are available but still.
