Chennai Travel | Complete Chennai tour Guide – Travel Lovers

Hey guys welcome to my blog, this is Arun and you are reading the blog about Chennai Travel that is the tribal cities. If you are new on my website please to subscribe.

Chennai being the capital city of Tamilnadu is the biggest cultural economic and educational centre of South India. It is among the most visit endian cities by foreign tourists. Chennai is nicknamed The Detroit of India with more than one-third of India's automobile industry being based in the city. Chennai has a tropical wet and dry climate as it lies on the thermal equator and also on the coast.

How I started my journey towards Chennai

I stayed over this beautiful place which was in my budget, I chose this place because it was nearer to Kovalam Beach so I expected some good views from my room's window. Though the views were super from the room’s balcony this place is a bit deserted and away from the city. It is difficult to find local autos here, the room cost was rupees thousand per day and it was worth it.

Chennai Travel

After getting freshen up at the hotel I went for an evening tour of the Kovalam Beach, which was just ten minutes away from my hotel luckily I got a share auto and had to pay rupees 10 for the ride. Kovalam is a curved beach with rocky shore situated at outskirts of Chennai, it is one of the few places in the East Coast where wind surfing takes place. The Dutch built a fort here which has been transformed into a private luxury beach resort that is also an NC and Catholic Church or dargah and a temple nearby. Though I could not take really good pictures I definitely enjoyed the crispy cheap seafood in a warm summer evening.

Destinations list to explore Chennai:

It is situated on xi shore and is a decent place for taking pictures with rocks which are beautifully capped. There is no entry fee to the place and you can have a 15 to 20 minute of a photoshoot over here. Honestly, I didn't find any cave here is just a vast land decorated with carved rocks.
