💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget guesthouses near the harbor area (₹800-1200/night) instead of resort hotels, and eat at local eateries serving authentic Tamil cuisine for ₹150-250 per meal, reducing daily expenses by 40%.
📅 October to February offers the most pleasant weather with cool temperatures (20-28°C) and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for beach visits and temple exploration. Avoid May-September monsoon season when heavy rains can disrupt travel plans and water activities.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa to visit Thoothukudi as it is a domestic destination within India. Simply carry a valid ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for internal travel.
