💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in budget guesthouses near the Kanchi Kailasanatha Temple area (₹800-1500/night) instead of Chennai hotels, and travel via local buses or shared autos for just ₹20-50 per trip, saving significantly on accommodation and transport costs.
📅 October to March offers the most pleasant weather with temperatures between 20-28°C, ideal for temple visits and exploring the town. Avoid May to September due to intense heat and monsoon rains that can disrupt travel plans.
🛂 Indian citizens do not require a visa to visit Kanchipuram as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid national ID, Aadhaar, or passport for domestic travel.
