7 days in Chennai Itinerary

Chennai, a city hailed for its vibrant atmosphere and historic attractions, remains one of the most visited places in India.

You've now added Varaha Cave Temple to your itinerary. Venture out of the city with trips to Mahabalipuram (The Madras Crocodile Bank Trust and Centre for Herpetology, Monuments at Mahabalipuram, &more) and DakshinaChitra Museum (in Muttukadu). There's lots more to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Marina Beach, deepen your understanding of the past and present with a heritage tour, cast your line with a fishing tour, and stroll through Besant Nagar Beach.
