47 days in Chennai Itinerary

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

Change things up with these side-trips from Chennai: Mahabalipuram (Monuments at Mahabalipuram, Sea Shore Temple, & more), Tiruvallur (Lord Veeraraghava Perumal Temple & Sri Vadaranyeswarar Temple) and DakshinaChitra Museum (in Muttukadu). There's still lots to do: take in the spiritual surroundings of Kapaleeshwarar Temple, admire the natural beauty at The Theosophical Society, admire the striking features of San Thome Church, and kick back and relax at Marina Beach.
