What you can expect

  • Chennai Heritage and Coastal Highlights Tour

    Get picked up from your hotel lobby or any preferred location and begin a fascinating journey through Chennai’s rich cultural and religious heritage.

    Start your exploration at Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore, a magnificent Dravidian-style temple famed for its 37-meter-tall gopuram (tower). Wander through the serene Agraharam lanes, where traditional Brahmin homes and ancient rituals still shape local life.

    Continue to Santhome Cathedral Basilica, built over the tomb of St. Thomas the Apostle. Its elegant neo-Gothic architecture and deep spiritual resonance showcase Chennai’s long-standing Christian legacy.

    Proceed to Fort St. George (closed on Fridays), India’s first British fortress and now the seat of the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. Explore its museum to discover colonial-era artifacts, then make your way to the Government Museum nearby to view centuries-old art, sculptures, and archaeological finds.

    Enjoy a drive along Marina Beach, India’s longest urban beach, and continue to the Blue Flag-certified Elliot’s Beach, known for its pristine sands and scenic beauty. Stop by the Lighthouse for breathtaking panoramic views of Chennai’s coastline.

    Conclude your tour at the vast Government Museum, Egmore, India’s second oldest museum spread across 16.25 acres. With six independent buildings and 46 galleries, it presents stunning collections in art, archaeology, and natural history (closed on Fridays).

    After an enriching day of discovery, you’ll be dropped back at your hotel.
