day 1: reach Tenkasi from Chennai at 9: 00 am and this day is pretty much finalised on certain temple visits in and around tenkasi including courtallam

day 2 : early morning start from Tenkasi. there have been suggestions on some places but I am not sure which directions and the suggested order of places

places in mind : ambasamudram,Manimuthar Dam, Karaiyar dam and Agasthiyar falls, Kallidaikurichi and Pathamadai
papanasam and bhramadesam
Reach Tirunelveli in the afternoon, check in hotel
Evening
Kanthimathi Nellaiyappar Temple
Sankaranainarkoil , situated 56 km from Tirunelveli on the Madurai-Kollam rail route

day 3: Tiruchendur and on the way Krishnapuram Temple
Krishnapuram temple is situated 12 km from Tirunelveli at Krishnapuram village on Tirunelveli- Tiruchendur main road.

Sri Vaikundanatha Perumal Temple :dedicated to Lord Vishnu in the form of Vaikuntapathi Swami, is located on Tiruchendur road in Srivaikuntam about 37 km from Tirunelveli. *

night train to chennai

Hotel Thavamani near old bus stand is a good budget option. You can also try Hotel Tamil Nadu
Day 2 leave Tenkasi, reach Papanasam visit the temple. Then visit Manimuthar Fall, Agasthiyar falls, Bani Theertham, Kallidaikurichi and Pathamadai.
Leave for Tirunelveli
Day 3 is perfect.

Hi Subbu,

Try to visit a few more temples ( among the Nava Tirupathis ) apart from Srivakuntam. You can add Retaai Tirupathi which is on the banks of the Tamaraiparani river and also Alwarthirunagiri ( Adhinadha Swami Temple ) and Nammalwar Padal Petra Sthalam .

They are enroute from Tiruchendur to Tirunelveli Highway.

Hi Friend

day 2 is slightly over loaded. Leave manimuthar falls in the itinery
Start from Tenkasi at 5 am Reach papanasam temple by 6.15 have darshan. Agasthiyar falls opens only at 7 am . have a visit.
then move to Karaiyar bNatheertham, ANd while returning visit sorimuthayyanar temple and Servalar dam which are near to karayar.

In the evening proceed to tirunelveli

My suggestion is for nature lovers, you can add temples like Brahmadesam, ETC
