Destination & City Travel Guide

About Madras

Chennai, called Madras until 1996, is one of India's largest metropolitan areas, with car plants along the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam belt, a busy container port and a large share of the country's medical travel. Its December music and dance season is the biggest event in the Carnatic calendar. Visitors use the city as the gateway to the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram, the silk and temple town of Kanchipuram and the former French enclave of Puducherry along the East Coast Road.

Read more about Madras

Tips for travellers

For a short trip, Egmore, Nungambakkam and T. Nagar are central and well served by the metro, while Mylapore and Besant Nagar put you close to the older temples and the beach. Chennai Metro's Blue Line runs from the airport through the city to Chennai Central, and the Green Line links Chennai Central with St. Thomas Mount via Koyambedu. South India's first air-conditioned suburban train started on the Beach to Chengalpattu line in April 2025, and the older suburban trains and MTC buses are inexpensive but crowded at peak hours. App cabs and auto-rickshaws fill the gaps.

The weather is kindest from November to February. The north-east monsoon brings most of Chennai's rain in October and November, and cyclones in those months can disrupt flights and flood roads. The Margazhi music and dance season runs through December into January, with concerts at sabhas across Mylapore and T. Nagar, and Pongal in mid-January closes many offices for several days. At the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and other Hindu temples, remove footwear and dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered. Marina Beach is for walking rather than swimming, as the currents are strong. For Mahabalipuram, leave early to see the Shore Temple before the midday heat, and combine it with the Pancha Rathas and Arjuna's Penance nearby.

Best time to visit Madras

November to February, with days of about 24-30°C and lower humidity. October and November bring the north-east monsoon rains.

How to reach Madras

By Air: Chennai International Airport (MAA) is at Tirusulam, about 21 km south-west of the city centre; allow 45-75 minutes by road. The Blue Line metro stops at the airport, Tirusulam suburban station is linked to the terminals, and MTC buses, prepaid taxis and app cabs are available.

By Rail: Chennai Central (MGR Central) and Chennai Egmore are the main terminals. Vande Bharat trains run to Mysuru via Bengaluru, to Coimbatore and to Tirunelveli, and the Tamil Nadu Express links Central with New Delhi.

By Road: The East Coast Road leads to Mahabalipuram and Puducherry, and NH 48 runs west to Bengaluru. TNSTC and SETC buses for the southern districts leave from the Kalaignar Centenary Bus Terminus at Kilambakkam.

What to do in Madras

Walk Marina Beach at sunrise and see the lighthouse at its southern end.
Explore the Chola bronzes in the Bronze Gallery of the Government Museum, Egmore.
Attend a December concert at the Music Academy or a sabha in Mylapore.
Visit the Shore Temple and Pancha Rathas at Mahabalipuram on a day trip.
Eat a banana-leaf meal in the lanes around the Kapaleeshwarar Temple tank.

About Colombo

Colombo is often the first Sri Lankan stop after landing at Bandaranaike International Airport near Katunayake. Pettah’s market streets, the Gangaramaya temple and Galle Face Green show different parts of the city within a compact area, although road traffic changes the pace. The National Museum adds an indoor visit, and Colombo Fort remains an important transport point. Indian travellers can spend a day here before taking a train south or beginning a wider island route.

Read more about Colombo

Tips for travellers from India

Fort is the practical choice when a rail departure forms part of a short stay; Galle Face instead puts the seafront within easy reach. Cinnamon Gardens suits the National Museum and Independence Square. Bandaranaike Airport is at Katunayake, outside Colombo, so an airport hotel and a central city hotel serve different purposes. A late arrival followed by an early flight may favour the airport area, whereas a day of sightseeing needs the road transfer into Colombo itself.

Pettah and Fort fit together as a market-and-architecture walk, while Gangaramaya and the nearby lake area belong to another circuit. The National Museum is a collection visit rather than a brief stop on the way to a train, so pair it with Cinnamon Gardens. Galle Face Green is a flexible evening endpoint after those indoor sights. City of Dreams Sri Lanka opened in August 2025, adding hotel, dining and entertainment facilities to the central waterfront area; it is separate from the older museum district. For onward rail travel, identify Colombo Fort station on the ticket rather than treating every Colombo station as interchangeable. Pettah’s commercial lanes can be awkward with wheeled luggage, making Fort accommodation useful when combining a market visit with an onward train.

Best time to visit Colombo

December to March, around 23–32°C, with comparatively drier west-coast weather.

How to reach Colombo

By Air: Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) is about 32 km north of Colombo; allow roughly 45–75 minutes by road. Airport bus 187, taxis and hired cars connect with the city.

By Rail: Colombo Fort is the main rail hub for routes towards Kandy, Galle and other destinations.

By Road: Airport bus 187 uses the Colombo-Katunayake Expressway; long-distance buses leave from city terminals.

What to do in Colombo

Walk the Galle Face Green seafront.
Explore market lanes in Pettah.
Visit Gangaramaya Temple near Beira Lake.
See Sri Lankan collections at the National Museum of Colombo.
