Mallur

Mallur is located 110 miles (177 kilometers) away from Bengaluru, a significant city in India.

While it can be a temptation to limit yourself to just the local sights while holidaying in Mallur, remember, Tamil Nadu's numerous scenic wonders lie just beyond your doorstep. Infant Jesus Cathedral and Anna Park which you can find in and around Salem, are interesting places to visit. Salem, is 8 miles (13 kilometers) away from Mallur. A side-trip to Yercaud is another interesting option. It's about 17 miles (27 kilometers) away from Mallur and is home to the Deer Park and Anna Park.

To really understand the present, it's often helpful to understand the past. Tamil Nadu's rich historic palaces are a great starting point. Houses of the holy are the best places to experience a region's soul. The temples of Tamil Nadu are certainly no exception.

Why not treat yourself to a high-altitude experience during your stay in this region. Go paragliding; you'll never forget it.

Trying regional food is usually about more than just satisfying appetites. It offers a glimpse into places and people's lives. Among the variety of elements commonly used here are lentils and spices. How about trying masala dosa (thin crepe with dips) or sambar (lentil and vegetable stew)? Both meals are a common fare in this region. And when it is time for the end of you meal, you can also try shahi tukda (bread pudding).

Sadly, vacations can't last forever, so when it's time go home, head to the nearest major airport in Tiruchirappalli, 65 miles (105 kilometers) to the southeast.
