Tiruvannamalai in March

March at Trichy: 24–35°C, Rock Fort climb comfortable at dawn, scorching by midday. Srirangam close by — stack both sites early, retreat to AC after lunch.

March at Coonoor: 12–24°C, Nilgiri tea slopes green and clear, toy train running. Shoulder to peak — quieter than April–May, homestays easy to book.

March at Anamalai: 18-30°C, dry Topslip forest, lion-tailed macaques easier to spot at water sources. Bamboo rafting on the Aliyar runs — forest dept slots book ahead.

March in Chettinad: 24–36°C, mansion tours fine early, but inland Tamil sun is sharp by noon. Food and tile photography hold up — book AC rooms, eat long lunches.

March at Chidambaram: 24–34°C, Nataraja temple darshan comfortable at dawn and after 5pm. Midday stone courtyards get hot — dress light, carry water.

March at Kanchipuram: 24–35°C, temple tours and silk-weaver visits best before 10am. Plains heat stacks fast — the 1,000-temple circuit needs an AC car between stops.

March at Tharangambadi: 25–33°C, Fort Dansborg and the Danish quarter workable with sea breeze. Shoulder month — beach calm, bungalow stays easier to book.

March at Yercaud: 14–26°C, coffee-estate walks clear, lake breezes cool. Shoulder — quieter than April–May summer rush, budget homestays easy to book.
