If you’re reading this right now, you have done yourself a favor today. The upcoming facts and feelings will make your day. This is a length piece so set your mood right and start exploring. You have probably heard about a place in India called Tamil Nadu. Sure, there are tour packages like India’s Golden Triangle, Monuments Tour of Delhi, and Backwater Tours of Alleppey in Kerala. But Tamil Nadu is an entirely different emotion. The most realistic state is also the most visited state in India in 2019 and for a good number of reasons.

Many of you might have known about the top-notch highways, caring people, and good connectivity between villages and cities. You might be reading this piece sitting in Mexico, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, or Greece. But if you track back in time and visit the prehistoric era (if Elon Musk comes with a beautiful Time Travel device), your ancestral origins would have a connection with Tamil. No! This isn’t fiction and here are proofs – The Aborigines of Australia would call their Mom as “Aayi” (a dialect of many Tamil hamlets), Muhayideen Baksh’s Ship’s Bell found recently in New Zealand had Tamil letters inscribed in it, East Africa is full of Tamil dialects even in its countries names – Eritrea (Eri means fire in Tamil), Ethiopia (thi – fire), Congo (Kangu – fire), Sudan (sudu – fire): They all collectively represent the hot weather conditions of the East African region.

If you’re a lover of Mexico cuisine, get ready to be blindfolded and tricked with a similar dish that isn’t Mexican but Tamil. No, we’re not exaggerating the facts. From Scandinavian countries, North American countries, to South American countries, the reach of a culture had been strong. Why? Because a certain portion of the homo sapiens understood their presence and purpose on planet Earth before other people started cultivating civilizations. That’s why Tamil is not only the oldest civilized society but also the oldest trade language of the world. The Masters of the Oceans.

So, Tamil Nadu is connected with the world. What’s the big deal? How it will improve my overall physical and mental well-being?

For what reasons should I visit Tamil Nadu and is Tamil Nadu a good place for honeymooners, explorers, historians, and senior citizens? Where to go in Tamil Nadu after lockdown? Is Tamil Nadu open for tourists in 2021 January? We get plenty of questions like this and so our answers.
