 Welcome!
We hope this page provides useful information about getting around
in Chennai, and enjoying its beauty and cultural heritage.
Chennai, the gracious capital city of Tamil Nadu is the fourth
largest metropolis in India. Located on a 17 Km stretch of the Coramandel
coast, the city is trisected by the waterways of Cooum and Adyar
and the Buckingham Canal. With a population of 6 million people,
Chennai is a vibrant city ever growing, expanding and changing every
year. Popularly regarded as the "Gateway to the South",
Chennai presents culture that is distinctly different from that
of northern India.

Chennai is a city where the traditional and the modern blend in
life. From traditional  vegetarian
fair to fast foods, from nine-yard sarees to the latest in fashion,
from ancient temple architecture to modern high-rise - with Indo-Saracenic
and Victorian as stops along the way - from classical music and
dance to discos throbbing to heady beats, Chennai has them all and
many more vivid contrasts that are a pleasant surprise. And perhaps
the most striking of them all is that here is a modern metropolis
with beaches, parks and even sanctuaries in the heart of the city.
Chennai offers a wealth of nature and a rich historic past to visitors
in the ambience of a city with every modern facility.
