💡 Travel Tips
💰 Visit during weekday mornings (Tuesday-Thursday) to avoid weekend crowds and get better prices on silk sarees; stay in nearby Chennai and take a day trip to save on accommodation costs while enjoying better hotel options.
📅 October to February offers the perfect climate with temperatures between 20-28°C, ideal for temple exploration and shopping for silk sarees. Avoid May to September due to intense heat and monsoons that make walking through temple complexes uncomfortable.
🛂 Indian citizens do not require a visa to visit Kanchipuram as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid Indian ID proof like Aadhaar, passport, or driving license.
