Frequently asked questions

What are the major attractions in Ponnirai?
If your trip to Ponnirai is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is a bit on the empty side, let us give you a helping hand.There’s a ton of things to do in the surrounding region. Don’t leave without exploring Guru Baghawan Temple and Rajagopalaswamy Temple. If you have time, also check out Piravimarundeeswarar Temple.
What are the best road trip destinations near Ponnirai?
With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense.

Among your first few stops here should be Brahma Temple, Sarangapani Temple and Sani Bhagawan Temple. The locals will also likely point you toward Tarangambadi, 30 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, let it be Sri Saranaka Ratchakar Shiva Temple. (But we’re also huge fans of Danish Fort and Silappathikara Art Gallery.)
Where are the best beaches near Ponnirai?
Nothing’s quite as romantic as being beside the ocean at nightfall. Take a leisurely drive to Velankanni Beach and catch sight of the sun’s rays glistening over the water before it disappears into the horizon. You’ll find this glorious stretch of coastline 16 miles from Ponnirai.
