Tour Info

Tiruchirappalli International airport is the 31st busiest airport in India for passengers handled, 33rd busiest for total aircraft movement. It is the third-largest airport in Tamil Nadu in terms of total passenger traffic next to Chennai and Coimbatore. Kollidam is the Kaveri ‘s northern limb, which branches off the mainstream some 9 miles to the west of Thiruchirapalli. It runs parallel to Kaveri for 17 miles and then bends against it, and then rejoins it. The island thus created is called Srirangam Island and is located in the district of Thiruchirapalli. The Kollidam waters are mainly used for irrigation purposes. The Upper Anicut, the dam constructed to keep the Kollidam flowing in a lower bed than the Kaveri, from abstracting too much of the water and thus damaging the irrigation at Thanjavur depending on the center, stands across the plateau at which it branches from the Kaveri.
