Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Arulmigu Nellaiyappar Temple, located in Tamil Nadu, is a renowned Hindu temple complex dedicated to Lord Shiva. Built in the 17th century around two intricate 7th-century towers, it boasts beautiful Dravidian architecture and intricate carvings that attract both devotees and tourists. The temple is well-maintained and offers a peaceful atmosphere for visitors to admire its ancient structures and sculptures.
I had the opportunity to visit the Nellaiappar Temple in Tirunelveli on 10th August, and it was truly a divine and memorable experience. The temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva (Nellaiappar) and Goddess Kanthimathi, stands as one of the grandest temples in South India with its magnificent gopurams and intricate stone carvings. The vast corridors, majestic pillars, and the musical stone columns reflect the architectural brilliance of the Pandya dynasty. The spiritual atmosphere inside the temple was deeply calming, and the darshan was very peaceful. Visiting this ancient temple not only gave me a sense of devotion but also admiration for our rich cultural heritage.

The atmosphere inside the temple is very serene and spiritual, making it a perfect place to spend time in prayer or simply to admire the cultural richness. The temple is also well-maintained, and the traditional rituals performed here add to the divine charm. Overall, this temple is not just a place of worship but also a must-visit cultural and architectural landmark in Tamil Nadu. A visit here leaves you feeling both peaceful and inspired.

Nellaiyappar Kovil in Tirunelveli is a truly mesmerizing temple filled with divine energy and breathtaking architecture. The majestic towers, detailed stone carvings, and musical pillars showcase the brilliance of ancient craftsmanship. The atmosphere is peaceful and spiritual, especially during the evening pooja when the temple glows with lamps and chants. It’s one of the most beautiful and sacred places to experience in Tamil Nadu, a must-visit for anyone coming to Tirunelveli.

A 2nd biggest siva temple in world,with very huge 3(3 for ambal + 3 for shiva)pragarams. Gomathy ambal is very gorgeous 😍 (gnanasakthi swaroopam). I have given 5 starts because every inch of the temple are very clean , Management is not shown that much interest in commercializing darshan( No 100rs,50 rs tickets for darshan) only 5 rs that too not required for all days . I really felt shivas heaven when I entered near garbhagraham of nellaiyappar .I suggest all to visit arround 5.30 Am to see the thiruvanathal sevai ,you will never forget the temple in life

Located in Tirunelveli, the District Science Centre is a spacious museum that offers a wide range of science exhibits, activities, and demonstrations. It's highly recommended as one of the best places to visit in Tirunelveli. The center provides an educational and enjoyable experience for kids with physics experiments displayed from basic concepts to advanced standards.

C.DAVID S — Google review
District Science Centre in Palayamkottai, Tirunelveli is a very nice place for children and families. It has many science exhibits which you can touch and try. Kids really enjoy the sections like Fun Science, Mirror Magic, Electronics, and the Planetarium show. There is also a 3D theatre, a small dinosaur park, and a science garden with green space where you can sit or walk. Many school trips come here because students can see and learn science in a fun way. Entry ticket is affordable (around ₹25–₹30), and extra ₹30 for the 3D or planetarium. The place is usually calm and peaceful — good for a relaxed visit. But some problems are there. Few machines are not working, and cleanliness inside could be better. Maintenance is not proper in some parts. Parking is outside the gate, so visitors have to walk a bit. Also, the 3D glasses are not very clear, so that can improve. ✅ Good points: Educational, fun for kids, low cost, planetarium, greenery ⚠️ Bad points: Some exhibits not working, basic maintenance issues, no inside parking Final word: Very good for school kids and science lovers — just keep expectations simple.

Kids will love to go around. Needs to put some staff to explain the science apart from explanation boards 👏
Sankar V — Google review
There’s no dedicated parking space available, so you’ll need to find a spot along the nearby road for your four-wheeler. The entry ticket costs ₹30 per person. However, if you want to visit the 3D theater, there’s an additional charge—which the billing section usually doesn’t mention—so be sure to ask about it at the counter. Inside, you’ll find science-related exhibits, a small playground for kids, and a few animal and bird enclosures. There are also mechanical dinosaurs that growl through speakers and make small head movements at intervals. While these features are interesting, what I enjoyed the most was the wind—it's incredibly breezy and refreshing. You can relax with your family, find a nice spot, and just enjoy the pleasant atmosphere. There’s also a small garden with flowers. If you’re wondering whether the ticket is worth the price, I’d say yes—mainly for the wind. That alone made the visit memorable for me.

Nature & Parks
Dams
Manimutharu Waterfalls, located near Tirunelveli, is a serene and refreshing destination for those looking to unwind. The falls are less crowded compared to others in the area and offer a chance to fully enjoy the crystal-clear and cool waters. Visitors should note that entry tickets must be purchased at Manimuthar dam check post, and entry to the falls is closed after 3 pm. Additionally, it's important to plan for food as there are no nearby spots for meals.
The fall is a hidden gem that offers a delightful experience for nature enthusiasts. The water is exceptionally fresh and tastes fantastic. The area is well-maintained, ensuring a pleasant visit for all. There's a dedicated space for men's and women's bathing at the falls, which adds to the convenience. The road leading to the falls is nice and provides a scenic drive through the forest, enhancing the overall experience with a touch of adventure. It's a perfect spot to enjoy the beauty of nature while having a refreshing time. 🌿🚗💧

Hidden Gem Near Coutralam Falls! 🌿💦 Wow! What a lovely and beautiful place to enjoy. Located just 40 km away from Coutralam Falls, this mesmerizing spot is far less crowded, making it a peaceful escape. Though the waterfall here is smaller in height, the force of the water is incredible—you literally can’t stand against it! It pushes you right off your spot, which makes it super fun, especially when you're with a group of friends. 🎉 Right next to the falls, you’ll find a dam, which is quite rare to witness together. I’ve never seen a dam and waterfall side by side like this—it’s truly a unique experience! They’ve thoughtfully provided separate dress changing rooms for ladies, ensuring privacy and safety. 👍 The same road also leads to Manjolai, which is a restricted forest area where entry is not allowed without special permission. This entire place is under the control of the Forest Department, and there are strict security checks. Carrying snacks, food, or drinks is not allowed—if you bring any, they’ll be taken at the check post and returned to you on the way back. 📅 Best time to visit: June to August, when the falls are at their best. If you like my review. Please do click like button. Thanks, Sabarinathan C

A beautiful place which is not maintained properly. Park looks like graveyard. Government could have taken steps to maintain it properly. Proper checking has been done before entering the falls which was appreciable. If everything is maintained well,it will be one of the best tourist spot in Tirunelveli .

It’s a magical spot that connects you deeply with nature — truly a must-visit!

Received the hot and sour soup. Did not expect this, all I had to do was add the seasoning at the table. 😂, this will make us a chef on the fly. Butter chicken was not buttering for me, the grill is a disappointment and the chicken Manchurian was okay. The only thing that was good on my plate was the parotta, would recommend only that for a hold dinner in experience. And also don't ask for a waiter as they work on their own schedule. P S. The Mayo was sketchy. Avoid it.
Mohamed F — Google review
Good food nothing special, won’t say as a must try place. Costly too. I tried parotta and naatu kozhi. Naatu kozhi gravy was mediocre - it was tangy. Anyone who has had authentic gravy would know that this is nowhere close to that.

Not worth the hype, we walked in for dine in they made us wait for 30 mins and they wouldn't accept take away orders while you're eating within the restaurant and make you go to the billing counter and order again, the attached bill time stamp shows 10.18 pm and time is already 10.45 it just takes 45 mins to an hour just to give us 4 parotta packed. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant if you're planning to go as a big family eat out.

Whenever I visit Tirunelveli, I used to have lunch here. Three months ago, the meal cost ₹120, but it has recently increased to ₹150. Initially, they provided ghee and parupu podi, but on my visit today, October 20, 2024, those items were not included. Additionally, the quality of the food has declined; I found two small particles in the vegetables, indicating they weren't washed properly. It seems they have prioritized profit over maintaining quality and service.

Today we tried lunch from here. The special dal curry with ghee was excellent. The koottu poriyal was superb. The cauliflower fry was good, but it was too oily.Over all good. The food is very expensive compared to other hotels.

Went to try Sodhi and it's awesome. Some of my friends suggested this mess since I had cravings for Sodhi Kulambu (Dish made from buttermilk exclusive to Tirunelveli & Kanyakumari). The side dishes were also good. Would definitely recommend this place for vegetarian folks. Car parking and access to the mess is little problematic because of narrow congested roads but if you travel by motorcycle then it's not a problem.
Keshav B — Google review
My honest review: I went to Muthu Mess for lunch after few years with high expectations. To start with, the place is too pricey, ₹ 150 for a ordinary meal with just one poriyal, kootu and no curd is day light robbery, even Sangeetha or Geetham in Chennai is cheaper than this. Then they have multiple sides like Sodhi, fry, poriyal etc, chargeable which are very average, I get a feeling they are reheating or frying again. Not up to the mark. Now Sodhi, sambar are all too watery, even the curd we buy for 20 rupees extra is too watery. I really wonder how many people in Tirunelveli can afford 250 for a meal. I don’t recommend this restaurant any more. Regarding service, people are not interested to serve, very lethargic and takes multiple calls to come and serve. Owner boy is damn arrogant. Only the chants of hare rama Hare Krishna is pleasing to the ears

Taste and quality wise good but price and quantity wise bad for side dish. We have tried Gobi fry for that we need to pay 25 rupees but quantity is very less, same to other side dishes but meals will cost 100 rupees which includes two sde dish, unlimited rice, rasam, sambar, vatha kulambu and butter milk, specially for their pure vegetarian we can try for one time Cons: price of the side dish, parking Pros: taste and history

One of the Worst hotel I ever visited in Tirunelveli. Overly priced food. Don't believe those fake influencer. Very average food charged 150 rs. Just one poriyal, kootu, keerai. Worst atmosphere they aren't follow any hygiene. They asked us to wait infront of hotel. After some time the guard ask us to go upstairs. But again we are waiting in the hotel dining infront of other customers who are all eating, It's like we have to identify the places like kalyana veedu sapadu idam pidikrathu😝.I felt whether im here for free food😂Better the hotel should concentrate on its services and food quality.
