From your Chennai accommodations, venture over to Spencer Plaza, where you can find novel handicrafts, authentic ethnic wear and unique Indian jewelry. If you are looking for the traditional Indian “sarees,” be sure to stop by the Pothys for a wide selection of silk wear. Take an auto-rickshaw to Kalakshetra to experience contemporary Indian dancing with traditional music.
Before heading back to your Chennai hotel, make sure you stop by Saravana Bhavan for such vegetarian dishes as “idly” (steamed rice cakes) and “poori” (friend Indian flatbread). For a more sophisticated indulgence, make a reservation at Dashkin Restaurant, serving the best in South Indian cuisine. Drive down the East Coast to experience a sea of amusement parks, resorts, theatres, restaurants and beaches, such as Elliot's Beach, Marina Beach and Besant Nagar Beach.
Whether you’re on a shopping excursion or gravitate to a more tranquil experience at Parthasarathy Temple, Chennai offers endless attractions to suit your every indulgence.
