How many IL'ites are from Tirunelveli??

Hi Abi

A warm welcome to the zone. glad to hear for the love you have for tvl. actually except halwas i've enjoyed nothing you have mentioned so have to go and enjoy all the items you mentioned. Please keep shring your memories in TVL, because as a college girl you would have seen many places in and around tvl.

Sorry to say that am not related to the person you mentiones

love
hema

Oh so you are from kallidai.....must be enjoying the appalams there..and you too are not far from the agasthiar falls no....

Yes, I went thru your threads, and knew about your dh being a dentist...

I like the Tvl Thamizh than the madurai tamizh since it is the Tamizh spoken by my mom and her side relatives who belong to villages near Tenkasi. I could recognise the Tvl slang spoken even in Singapore and personally I feel that the people there are more compassionate than anywhere in TamilNadu.
I always tell my hubby that I want to settle in Tvl(though he has never been there!). One of the main reasons being my best friend is settled in Papanasam.

Hmm..Yet again a nostalgic thread! Thanks for starting this thread Hema!

Please can you consider counting me as Tirunelvelian too. (Your name name sounds very familiar. are you a relative to PrimRose Gladston from Tuticorin?)

Hi Saraswathi

I dont like appalams much, so dont take much...

Hema

Ya really i enjoy the falls around there. particularly manimuthar falls. Its just 7 kms from out place and most week ends we go there ... Sometime we go to papanasam and agasthiar fally. But manimuthar falls is better than that. Have you gone there??

Hema

Hi Vidya,

Good to know you are a Nellai marumagal..

Food there will not be a problem....

Regarding comfort for staying..I think Hotel Aaryas will be a good option.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Friends,

Like Vidya24, I am also a Tveli daughter in law. My F-L is from Seramadevi. Even though I have not visited the place, he often talks & boosts about his place. I had just been to thiruchandur... to worship our family deity- Muruga. I liked the place very much. I believe Tveli district is supposed be fertile & a pleasant place to live in. Being closer to Kerala...I guess it has both the flavours!

And Vidya Madam, I am Surprised & happy to know that you're Tveli D-L! I thought you're a 'pakka' keralite!

Vidya,

There are small lodges in the areas that you mentioned. If you decide to stay in Tirunelveli lodge, you may end up shuttling to and fro to those places.

There may be lodges near Shankarankovil Gomathi Ammam temple, where you may halt and then proceed to kandayanallur and krishnapuram via puliangudi.
Kallidai is very near to Alwarkurichi...it takes not more than 20 mins by road.

Alternatively...since Kallidai and Alwarkurichi are nearer to Tirunelveli, you can finish that trip first. Then back to Tirunelveli and from there to Shankarankovil, kadayanallur and krishnapuram in one go.
In case you are not using your personal vehicle...Standard Cabs in Tirunelveli will be a good option...
One personal suggestion....visit courtallam falls when you go to Kadayanallur.....My home is just about 2 km from the falls....There are good resorts in courtallam.

Let me know if you need further clarification. More than happy to help you.
Bye

Now to trouble you more. I wish to visit Kadayanallur, Krishnapuran,Shankaankovil and Kallidaikurichi when I am there. Are these near Alwarkurichi, since that is where I will be finally headed? Or shld I base in Tveli town and do these trips??

Thanks a million.

affly
Vidya

Hi All,
Pls count me in..I was born and brought up there but left to my native place in 99.We dont have relatives there and so never had a chance to visit there again.All my friends too left after marriage but I aways munch my good old memories of TVL.I lived most of my life there in NGO colony and Maharajanagar.I studied in Ignatius' Convent and STC college.

How has TVL developed lately?

Dear friends
I'm also a daughter-in-law of Tirunelveli. My father-in law hails from Naranammalpuram. Actually he and some of his friends and some people from that village formed a welfare society to help that village people.

Regards
Uma
