The Story Behind The Alampara
Nestled in Madurantakam, The Alampara has so many stories behind it. Arun Vasu, the chief managing director of the TT Group, was on a mission to find an unexplored place where he could start windsurfing lessons and camping. Alamparai was just an unused surrounding surrounded by paddy fields. It faced a tsunami and survived it. Also, it pulled through almost 250 years of decay. And today the 50-acre land is a beautiful resort that is serving the visitors in the best possible way. The Alampara Resort is just a boat ride away from Alamparai in Madurantakam.
