Description

Few know that on Tamil Nadu’s eastern coast stands Tranquebar, once Denmark’s gateway to India. Built in 1620, this peaceful heritage town is home to Fort Dansborg, India’s first printing press, and the inspiring story of Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg, the first European to master Tamil.
Today, restored heritage houses, serene beaches, and centuries of cross-cultural legacy await travelers who seek meaning beyond monuments.
