South India is one of the most peaceful and soothing places in the country that is perfect to spend a holiday in. Recently, we went on a Chennai excursion where we ended up exploring some of the nearby places that were absolutely delightful. So, based on our experience, we bring to you 3 Chennai tours that you too must go to in order to ensure your holiday is as fun as you hoped it to be.
A fascinating tour of Chennai
To begin our expedition, we decided to roam around the city and be introduced to its highlights. The first very popular place that we set foot on was the St. George Fort. The Fort houses a number of interesting sites like St. Mary’s Church, Flag Post, Clive House, Fort Museum, etc. that just can’t be missed on a Chennai sightseeing tour. Apart from that Santhome Church and Marina Beach are also valuable additions in the city that add to its charm.

A soulful tour of Kanchipuram and Mahabalipuram
These places are home to some of the most glorious temples. If you are spiritually inclined and love to visit places of worship then you must explore Ekambareswarar Temple, Kailasanath Temple, Kamakshi Amman Temple, Shore Temple, Five Rathas Shrine and many more to enjoy a soulful trip.

A peaceful Pondicherry excursion
The Pondicherry Museum and Sculpture Gallery and the Manakula Vinayagar Temple are two of the most striking components of Pondicherry that travelers love to visit. A visit to these sites is not only pleasurable but also deeply invigorating.

Special mentions: an offbeat option
If you are done exploring these Southern marvels, some travel companies like Indiator also provide the Taj Mahal tour from Chennai so that you can enjoy the beauty of both North and South in a single holiday!
