Travelling tips to Chennai
Visiting Chennai
DO NOT TRAVEL IN SLEEPER CLASS IF TRAVELING BY TRAIN, one can reach easily by train (would recommend Delhi Chennai Garib rath, good train at fare 25 percent less for AC 3 tier) or if you want to speed things up catch a flight. Since there is a major language problem, auto in Chennai would try to overcharge but stick to Rs. 100 for 5 to 15kms & Rs. 60 for distances up till 5kms. For distances more than that use public transport or call taxi (clarify at the time of booking that you would pay by the meter). Beaches are a must visit specially Marina Beach in the night.
