Chennai, capital of Tamil Nadu, is the gateway to South India for many travelers. Stretching 17 km along the Coromandel coast, the city is divided into three by the Cooum, Adyar and Buckingham waterways.Few linger in old Madras, frightened by the frenetic pace of one of India's 4 largest cities (population over 8 million). The very long Marina Beach offers a unique spectacle at dusk: street vendors, merry-go-rounds, horses... The city is also famous for its temples, sculptures, colonial heritage and silk saris.To the south of the city lies the famous district of Kanchipuram (Tamil Nadu), and to the west, the states of Kerala and Karnataka. Located in a tropical zone, Chennai's climate is naturally very hot and humid. The best time to visit is in winter.
