Manora of Thanjavur District is a popular picnic spot at about 65 km south of Thanjavur. This coastal town is known for an eight-storied miniature fortress built by Rajah Serfoji in 1814.
The port town of Adirampattinam and Thiruvarangulam, known for a 12th century temple, are worth visiting spots in the neighborhood. Peravurani (towards west), Sethubavachattram (south) and Rajamadam (north) are the nearby places.
