💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in Mylapore or T. Nagar neighborhoods instead of upscale Marina area to get 30-40% cheaper accommodation while remaining close to major attractions and authentic local experiences
📅 October to February offers pleasant weather with temperatures between 20-30°C, ideal for sightseeing and beach visits. Avoid May-September due to intense heat and monsoon rains that can disrupt travel plans.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Chennai as it is within India. Simply carry a valid government-issued ID like Aadhaar or passport for domestic travel.
