Tiruchirapalli
 Situated on the banks of the Cauvery River, Tiruchirapilli provides a perfect blend of history, tradition and religion. The Rock Fort dominates Trichy's landscape. Once the citadel of the Chola kings, the fort has seen the passing of dynasties. Ruled in turn by the Pallavas and then the Pandyas, the present fort was built by the Nayak rulers of Madurai.
Srirangam (5 km), a temple town closes by, is Trichy's main attaction. The 13th century temple complex with its 21 gopurams is set on an island in the River Cauvery. Dedicated to the Lord Ranganathaswamy, the temple is noted for its beautiful sculpture.
Trichy is also the hub of industrial and commercial activities and is easily accessible from most towns in Tamil Nadu.
