Hi Friends,
I'm back with a short Travelogue
Last Wednesday(Oct 9, 2013), I received a call from my parents saying that they are going to Karikudi for some personal work in Whity & asked me to join with them, if I'm free.
How can I avoid the golden opportunity of driving Vista for a long distance. So took off on Friday and reached Vellore on Thursday evening from Chennai.
Next day we all started our trip at 5am at Vellore and reached Trichy around 8am and had breakfast at Trichy and continued our trip to Karaikudi. Reached Karikudi at 11am and completed the work at 12:45pm.
After finishing the Job, we thought of going to Pilliyarpatti. But, temple will be closed at 1:30pm so we left the plan and headed towards Vellore. When we reached Karikudi bye-pass, my dad told about some palace type bungalow is there at Kanadukathan which is present near Karaikudi. I wished to see the palace, so fixed the destination to Kanadukatan in my Mobile Google map and headed towards it.
Kanadukathan is a small village which is present some 15Kms from Karaikudi on Trichy road.
The Village is filled with palace type Bungalows, all the Bungalows are Grand and Majestic and the wooden work is just awesome.
Our First sight at the Palace, we all were speechless after seeing the Majestic structure.
I enquired the security, whether visitors are allowed or not. Then I came to know, visitors are not allowed form the past 4 years and we came to know that the Palace is belongs to Chettinad Cements owner
so we took some snaps from outside itself:
Then we started to roam the streets of the village, there we found old Palace type bungalows everywhere
House turned into Hotel:
House which is present opposite to the Hotel:
