About the Half Day Chennai Local Sightseeing Tour:
- After being picked up by the tour group, the trip to the Kapaleeswarar temple will begin.
- After that, you may go to St. Thomas Mount Church, a major pilgrimage place for Indian Christians. The hilltop with the cross on it is a popular place for people to go to pray or reflect. The cross was supposedly sculpted by St. Thomas himself.
- Water sports enthusiasts will enjoy their time at Muttukadu Boat House since it is a popular spot for activities like water skiing, windsurfing, and sailing. In addition, there is a cafe and a gift store.
- Anyone with an interest in Hinduism and temple building should make a pilgrimage to the Seashore Temple. People of various religions are welcome to attend the temple, making it a popular place for worship and introspection.
- Check out the Crocodile Park which has made saving crocodiles a top priority. Through public outreach, scientific study, and captive breeding, it strives to provide a better future for crocodiles and their ecosystems.
- Krishna's Butter Ball, or Vaan Irai Kal, is a massive granite boulder that sits on a slight elevation and looks like a balancing rock. The fact that it is still standing is a mystery, which adds to its allure as a tourist destination.
- What’s a better way to unwind after a hard day than with a relaxing soak on Marina Beach, India's longest and most well-known beach, where locals and tourists alike go for water sports, sunbathing, and picnics? So Book the package now.
