3 days in Chennai Itinerary

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

Step out of Chennai with an excursion to Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams in Tirupati--about 4 hours away. There's still lots to do: take in the architecture and atmosphere at San Thome Church, browse the different shops at Express Avenue Mall, take in the spiritual surroundings of Kapaleeshwarar Temple, and take in the local highlights with Walking tours.
