Make sure to carry the ATM and other money withdrawing cards, so that you have enough money to enjoy your trip, leisurely. Do not carry a lot of ready cash, in your pockets.

5. On a Tamil Nadu trip you need to pack your clothing efficiently. The weather is mostly moderate, so pack casual clothing with T shirts, skirts, cotton clothing, and it is suggested that you dress up a little modestly, as the Tamils are traditional people and modest in their clothing.

6. On a Tamil trip, you must visit the best places , especially the temples and historical monuments of Medieval Kingdoms of India, which are very popular in the state, make sure to click the pictures and to keep the memories with you.

7. Do not miss a shopping spree in Tamil, as the state is an authentic producer of many things, which cannot be find in any other place of the country in as pure a form as here. Buy the popular Kanjivaram silk saris, and crafted art pieces.

8. Tamil Nadu is a very popular Indian state for its aesthetic, cultural and art forms, so on your trip make sure to be a part of one of these forms. Pongal is the main harvest festival here, celebrated in great spirits, while you must also attend a classical Carnatic music show or a traditional Bharatnatyam dance show.

9. Tamil Nadu is also a place to try some mouth watering South Indian dishes, still traditionally served in many restaurants, on a banana leaf.  Do make sure to follow their eating habits, as you will be expected to eat with hands and that too after washing them properly. Try this, and respect the values of the Tamils.

10. A Tamil Nadu trip is full of surprises for you, because of the tourist splendor it is, but accidents and emergencies can happen anywhere.
