"A small town in the southernmost region of Tamil Nadu, Ngercoil is a part of the old Travancore state. Experience divinity with the many Christian missionaries around the place."
Named after the principle shrine of Nagaraj (or the snake-God) in the city, Nagercoil is a small, unassuming city in Tamil Nadu. The temple is dedicated to Lord Krishna, harking back to legendary tales of his birth. Rich in a royal legacy from the Travancore period of rule, the city also hosts Catholic and Protestant churches which highlight the advent of Christian missionaries in India. Nagercoil benefits from its proximity to Western Ghats, with a hilly landscape and cool, temperate climate. Enjoy a blend of Tamilian and Keralite cuisine, unique to this region of the country.
