Experiences

VILLA INSIGHTS

  • Thanga House is completely vegetarian, serving predominantly local Tranquebar Tamil vegetarian cuisine, and does not permit consumption of non-vegetarian food on the premises. We do not serve alcoholic beverages.

  • Tranquebar’s temples, churches and mosques broadcast their rituals, sermons and call to prayer with great fervour from dawn to dusk and beyond. At dawn and dusk,the cacophony from roosting peafowl in the house and its surroundings also rivals these broadcasts. Ear plugs are available in every room.
