Mumbai: Travelxp has launched a new show "Timeless Tamil Nadu". The eight-part series follows popular travel personality Alex Outhwaite as she explores the state's pristine beaches, foggy mountain retreats, and spontaneous experiences.
Despite making numerous journeys to India, Alex has never had the chance to travel to one of its most southern states. In the show, she discovers some of the place's best-kept secrets after finally getting the chance.
Culture and religious endowments department tourism principal secretary Dr. B. Chandra Mohan said , “Not many people are aware that Tamil Nadu has one of the longest coastlines in the country. The many immersive cultural experiences and adventure activities that the state has to offer are also largely unexplored. What we have is a blend of fascinating history, extraordinary natural beauty, a rich culinary heritage and so much more that makes Tamil Nadu a holistic travel destination. We are excited about the show created by Travelxp because it will make travelers across the globe aware of the diversity of the state.”
This series was conceptualised and directed by national award-winning director Kamakhya Narayan Singh, and it was filmed in various cities across the state. The breathtaking scenery of hill towns like Ooty and Kodaikanal with their lush green mountains and cascading waterfalls, the magnificent medieval architecture of heritage towns like Karaikudi, the lesser-known foodie havens of the state like Madurai, and the natural beauty of hidden gems like the gulf of mannar marine national park are all explored by the film.
Travelxp 4K HD sales regional head Altaf Ladak, commented, “When we first planned to cover Tamil Nadu, we were aware of its historical and cultural richness. While filming, however, the team realized that there are many sides to the state of which even domestic travelers are not fully aware. Surfing on a Blue Flag-certified beach, tea tasting at a plantation, savoring biryani on a banana leaf, and getting a chance to observe or participate in age-old arts and crafts like the making of handloom sarees or an ancient dance form – these are only a few of the unique experiences we have featured in our show. New age travel aspirations include untapped travel destinations, deeper cultural immersion, meaningful cross-cultural connections and, ultimately, richer, more unique experiences. This series will showcase how Tamil Nadu is a destination that offers all of those things.”
The highly anticipated show will be available on all travelxp channels as well as its OTT platform travelxp on Play Store, App Store, FireTV, Android TV, and Xiaomi Patchwall, with new episodes releasing every weekend.
