Travel Guide in Dharamshala
Arriving in Chennai from Coimbatore
Reached Chennai? The city rewards those who look past its reputation as a transit hub. Tamil Nadu’s capital is one of India’s oldest and most culturally layered cities — Dravidian temples, a long coastline, a thriving classical arts scene, and some of the best food in South India. Here’s what’s worth your time.
Top Attractions in Chennai
Kapaleeshwarar Temple (Mylapore, 8 km from Koyambedu) One of Chennai’s most important Shiva temples, built in classic Dravidian style with a towering gopuram covered in painted sculptures. The temple tank, the busy flower market outside, and the surrounding Mylapore streets make this a genuinely immersive visit. Best experienced early morning before the crowds build.
Marina Beach (10 km from Koyambedu) The second longest urban beach in the world at 13 km, Marina is best visited at sunrise or in the evening when the entire city seems to gather here. The morning scene with vendors, fishermen pulling in nets, and joggers along the shoreline is something Chennai does unlike any other Indian city. Avoid midday when the heat is intense.
Fort St. George (11 km from Koyambedu) Built by the British East India Company in 1644, Fort St. George is the oldest English fortress in India and still an active government complex. The St. Mary’s Church inside is the oldest Anglican church in Asia and the museum has a genuinely interesting collection of colonial-era portraits and artefacts.
Mahabalipuram (58 km from Chennai) One of Tamil Nadu’s most remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Mahabalipuram features 7th century rock-cut temples, the Shore Temple, and the famous Arjuna’s Penance stone relief. An easy day trip from Chennai by road — taxis and buses run frequently and the site is spectacular particularly in the early morning.
DakshinaChitra (25 km from Chennai on ECR) A living museum of traditional South Indian architecture and crafts, DakshinaChitra recreates homes and workshops from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh across a large campus. Genuinely educational and well maintained, particularly good for understanding the regional diversity of South India.
Santhome Cathedral Basilica (10 km from Koyambedu) Built over the tomb of St. Thomas the Apostle who is believed to have brought Christianity to India in 52 AD, Santhome is one of only three basilicas in the world built over an apostle’s tomb. The building itself is a beautiful 16th century Portuguese structure right on the seafront.
Getting Around Chennai
- The Chennai Metro covers key areas including Koyambedu, Central Railway Station, Egmore, T Nagar, and Velachery on two lines
- App cabs like Ola and Uber are widely available and the most practical option for reaching OMR, ECR, and areas not well served by metro
- Auto rickshaws are everywhere and useful for short trips within neighbourhoods though insist on the meter or agree on a fare before boarding
- For Mahabalipuram day trips, shared vans run from Koyambedu bus terminus and take about 1.5 to 2 hours
From Koyambedu Drop Point:
- Metro to Central Railway Station: Green Line, around 20 minutes
- Metro to T Nagar: Green Line southbound, around 15 minutes
- App cab to Marina Beach or Mylapore: around 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic
From Velachery Drop Point:
- Metro on Blue Line connects to Central and Anna Nagar
- App cab to OMR tech parks: 15 to 25 minutes
- App cab to Chennai Airport: around 10 km via GST Road
Best Time to Visit Chennai
Winter (November to February)
- The most comfortable season with temperatures between 20°C and 30°C
- December is peak season with the Margazhi music and dance festival — one of India’s finest classical arts events running for a full month with performances every day across the city
- Book accommodation in advance if visiting during Margazhi
Post-Monsoon (October to November)
- North East monsoon brings rain to Chennai between October and December so carry an umbrella
- The city is lush and green and beach visits are pleasant between rain showers
Summer (March to June)
- Hot and humid with temperatures reaching 40°C — not the most comfortable time but the city functions normally and accommodation is cheaper
- Early morning temple and beach visits are manageable even in summer
Local Food Worth Trying
Chennai’s food culture is deeply tied to its neighbourhood restaurants and old-school eateries rather than new-age cafes.
- Filter coffee from any Saravana Bhavan or Murugan Idli Shop is the non-negotiable first meal after arriving — served in a stainless steel tumbler and davara, it’s among the best in India
- Chettinad cuisine is Chennai’s most celebrated regional cooking — spicy, aromatic curries like Kari Kozhambu and Pepper Chicken that are deeply layered with kalpasi, marathi mokku, and stone flower spices. Anjappar and Ponnusamy are reliable names
- Kothu Parotta is a late-night staple — shredded parotta stir-fried with egg, vegetables, or mutton on a flat griddle with a satisfying rhythmic chopping sound that you’ll hear from street stalls all over the city after dark
- Idli Sambar at a proper Mylapore or Adyar brahmin-style restaurant like Murugan Idli Shop is a different experience from what you get elsewhere — light, fermented, served with multiple chutneys and a well-balanced sambar
Practical Tips for This Route
- Both Chennai drop points arrive in the early morning between 5 AM and 7 AM — plan your onward cab or metro accordingly
- Choose Koyambedu if heading to Central and North Chennai, choose Velachery if heading to South Chennai and OMR
- Chennai traffic is heaviest between 8 AM and 10 AM so if you arrive before that window you’ll save significant time getting to your destination
- The complimentary dinner on zingbus is served shortly after departure from Coimbatore so no need to eat before boarding
- December in Chennai requires booking accommodation well in advance if your visit coincides with the Margazhi music season
