Pakistan Karakoram Highway Expedition — 21 days
Pakistan
Tanjore Hi is a heritage boutique hotel, set in the heart of Tanjore city in Tamil Nadu. Situated at a walking distance from the palace, this quirky hotel is a refurbished royal home dating back to the 1940s. It has been recently restored and styled with traditional strokes of contemporary touches like the backlit photo collages in shades of pink and blue. The hotel serves as a perfect destination for those looking for a comfortable overnight or a short stay to explore the areas around.
There are just 14 vintage style rooms in Tanjore Hi. All are individually designed, contemporary in style with plush beds, polished floors with a forceful throw of cobalt blue, which follows into the spacious bathrooms. Chola, its rooftop restaurant serves a mélange of French and Indian cuisine created for an international palate, and offers a variety of organic coffees and other items from the group’s own plantations and farms. And, there’s an open-air terrace bar.
Madurai and Trichy are easily accessible from Tanjore Hi and at distance of 3 hours, make it a very comfortable base for the travellers passing through and connecting to different areas. The 9th-century AD, Nisumba Soodhani (Durga) temple stands close to the hotel and the famous Brihadisvara temple is a stone's throw away. Other heritage sites include the Royal Palace Museum and the Aiyarappar, a Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, located in the village of Tiruvaiyaru.

When to go The best time to visit Thanjavur is between October and March when the weather is cool and conducive for sightseeing and other activities. The summer months of April and May are hot and dry and the heat becomes unbearable during the day. The month of June marks the starting of monsoon that continues till September. Though the temperatures fall slightly, the humidity remains.
