Chennai - the Gateway to South India

Chennai, also called Madras, is one of the four most prominent cities of India. Chennai is considered the gateway to South India. It is well connected by train, road, and air (national and international flights), and traveling to any place in the south can be quickly done from here. It even has a port connected to selected sites.

Chennai was the first significant settlement of the British East India Company in India. Due to this reason, it has a lot of British period heritage buildings.

Chennai has the second longest beach in the world. 

The city also has a lot of ancient temples and some religiously important places. 


It also has modern-day attractions such as museums, zoos, a lot of amusement parks, and interesting and unique sites such as Dakshin Chitra.

There are a set of people who generally ask what is there to visit in Chennai. My series of posts on Chennai will provide enough answers to them. Let us explore Chennai starting from my next post. Till then...

Happy travelling.
