4 Dhams South India Cruise
The revered 4 Dhams spiritual circuit connecting Rameshwaram, Madurai, Srirangam, and Tanjore.
Perform the most exalted pilgrimage in South India with our 7 Days / 6 Nights 4 Dhams South India Cruise. Designed for devout families and group yatris, this package covers four of Tamil Nadu's most significant temples: the Rameshwaram Jyotirlinga, Madurai's Meenakshi Amman Temple, Srirangam's Ranganathaswamy Temple, and the Thanjavur Brihadisvara (Big) Temple, without the pace of a rushed multi-city sprint.
| Duration | 6 Nights / 7 Days |
| Price | ₹14,999/person |
Spanning Madurai, Rameshwaram, Thanjavur, and Trichy, this tour provides a private AC vehicle, an experienced driver-guide, and pacing built around actual temple darshan and holy-bath timings rather than tight sightseeing slots. Each stop gets a proper half-day to full day rather than a quick photo-stop, and the same vehicle and driver stay with your group for the entire week.

Travel Tips
- Check special/VIP darshan ticket availability online in advance for Srirangam and Madurai, since general queues can run long on weekends and festival days.
- Mobile phones, cameras, and leather items are restricted inside several of these temples' inner sanctums — lockers are available near most entrances.
- This circuit works better spread over the full 7 days than compressed shorter — each temple genuinely needs a half-day or more to see properly.
