Tranquebar Town Gate

Tharangambadi is a beautiful place to visit when in Karaikal. It was once a Danish colony and now, the rich heritage is still maintained.

This town gate marks the entry to the once Danish colony. The architecture of the gate itself was super cool! We need to take a short walk from here to reach other tourist attractions.

This place is around 1km distance from Tharangambadi bus stop.

Tranquebar is a tranquil destination known as the land of the singing waves. This tiny beach town dates back to the 14th century with the establishment of the Shiva Temple built in 1306. The place has definitely a lot of history to learn, amazing architecture to adore, and a lot of activities to enjoy in one of the best Tamil Nadu tourist places.

Best Time To Visit Tranquebar: November to March

Great historical place to visit and very good place for photographers. Recommended picnic spot

This quaint gateway used to be called Landsporten . From here towards the beach is the historic zone of Old Tranquebar or Tarangambadi . Landsporten, this simple arch with the Danish Coat of Arms is the gateway to the Danish Quarters. The madinry arch has the Danish Ciat of Arms embossed on it .
First built in the 16th Century as soin as the Danish people had set base here , but since that was destroyed in an accident , the prrsent gate was built in 1792.
It is an historic monument still standing , but rarely given a cleaning or white wash .

Excellent fort.. Must visit place

Tharangambadi (Tranquebar), the place of the singing waves, is a small coastal town in Tamil Nadu 120 km south of the former French colony Pondicherry (Puducherry). Tharangambadi is known for its ozone rich beaches. It was once a Danish colony and was known as Tranquebar.

Tranquil as the name suggests, this is a gem of a place. A solo trip would unravel its beauty to the traveler in you.

This is a good place to visit in 2-3 hours. It is on way to karaikal.

A sleepy town in the shore of bay of Bengal catches your eyes when you crossby. The town has a long history of colonialisation by the Dutch. The way to the beach makes you feel nostalgic. It will definitely take you to the colonial era because nothing has been modified since long. The old heritage buildings are well preserved. The old jewish church and a school by the way you reach the beach. This takes you to the famous Tranquebar fort over the beach . Pls check the timing of opening before going. Probably 9am. The beach was very clean when I was there. Calm and crowd free. I spotted a murugan temple also there. Don't know more about it. Yes, i saw many peacocks over the beach and that a was surprising moment . An old bunglow over the beach just opposite to the fort looks stunning and has stood the time was and another attraction for photography. It's been converted to a resort (pls verify) . Rest, was a peaceful place to visit during my pilgrimage trip of Thirunallar via thirukadiyur

Marvellous place where we can see ancient churches and to learn the history behind them is really amazing!
