I highly recommend visiting Chennai as a starting point for a South India trip. It is a fascinating city with beautiful sights and colorful houses, friendly people and great food. I recommend visiting Marina Beach at sunrise, then move on to Kapaleeshwarar temple (tour buses arrive around 10am and it's really peaceful before that), and then having a nice South Indian breakfast which will keep you going until dinnertime. I felt perfectly safe and comfortable in Chennai. 5 stars 🤩
Posted: March 1, 2025Experienced: January, 2025Yes, I felt safe exploring and learning about new places and experiences. I highly recommend visiting the Santhome Cathedral Basilica Church; it's an amazing place. Also worth a visit is the Golden Beach near Snow Kingdom, which is one of the best attractions in Chennai. Other notable places include the Jayalalitha Memorial, Marina Beach, ECR Beach, Partha Saradhi Temple, Iscon Temple, Snake Park, Lighthouse, and Guindy National Park. I particularly recommend experiencing the sunrise and sunset at the beach resorts – it's truly better than any other experience. Tamil Nadu is known for its temples and beaches, which are well worth visiting in various locations. I would love to go there again, but the humidity can make it challenging. Apart from that, there are fantastic hotels and affordable accommodation options available.
Posted: April 13, 2024Chennai surprised me! My ₹250/night hostel became my launchpad for exploring temples, museums, and delicious street food. Haggling in markets was a fun challenge, and free museums added to the cultural immersion. The ECR beaches offered serenity, while Matyasri Narayana temple's beachside location was unique. T Nagar's vibrant shops tested my bargaining skills, but the deals were unbeatable!

Chennai isn’t too bad tbh. It’s a busy city and there’s people around you all the time. It’s hard to get caught in the middle of something really messed up. The people around are usually nice and helpful.

Chennai is among India’s safer cities for women, with low crime, women-only metro coaches, and active police support. Caution is advised at night in isolated areas. I would give it an 7.5/10 for women safety

I'm Bharathi a small woman who loves travelling and loooove to meet people from all around the world. If not people, what else is keeping the joy alive? Sharing that joy through stories, culture and love, of course, shall be the most beautiful part of being alive. In fact, that's what keeps us alive. I'm more than glad to have a life as a human getting to experience things this way.
