Tuticorin Harbour & Our Lady of Snows Day Trip
Tuticorin — Thoothukudi — was the pearl-diving capital of the south, and the Portuguese, Dutch and British all wanted it. The Basilica of Our Lady of Snows, founded in the sixteenth century, is the town’s landmark and its festival draws crowds from across the coast. The day adds the old harbour, the salt pans, and the shore where the diving fleets once worked.
