Trichy Kallanai, Mukkombu & Jambukeswarar Day Trip
A day along the Kaveri built around the oldest working irrigation structure in the world. The Kallanai — the Grand Anicut — was built by the Chola king Karikala around the second century CE and still diverts the river today. Nearby is Mukkombu, where the Kaveri splits around Srirangam island, and the Jambukeswarar temple at Thiruvanaikaval, one of the five elements temples, where a spring feeds the inner sanctum.
