Once a trading post of the Danes, the tranquil little town of Tranquebaror Tarangambadi aka Land of the Dancing Waves is slowly being transformed into a bustling beach haven, interspersed with vignettes of history.
Unlike neighboring Pondicherry where the French left an unmistakable stamp, Tranquebar’s deserted colonial structures built by the Danes in the 1620s are the only remnants of the presence of the Danes.Most visitors come to this coastal town for the peace and quiet offered – away from the madding crowd of big city life. So travel to tranquebar before it gets run over by people.
