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 to go to Mahabalipuram and see The Madras Crocodile Bank Trust and Centre for Herpetology, which is approximately 1h 20 min away. There's still lots to do: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Kapaleeshwarar Temple, shop like a local with T Nagar, Ranganathan Street, get the lay of the land with Walking tours, and kick back and relax at Besant Nagar Beach.

In April, plan for daily highs up to 42°C, and evening lows to 30°C. Cap off your sightseeing on the 27th (Sat) early enough to travel back home.
