DETAILED OVERVIEW

Why take a vehicle when you can walk around and explore different things? This Mylapore walking tour is aimed at the same idea, which is to let you explore the place at your own pace. Mylapore is a cultural hub and a neighbourhood in the southern part of the city of Chennai. Mylapore’s history goes back to Roman times, when it used to trade pepper and fine cloth with Rome for gold! It was occupied by the Portuguese in the 16th century and later fell into the hands of the British until India’s independence in 1947. To get more into the details, book yourself for this Mylapore walking tour.


Itinerary

  • Our tour guide will meet you outside Hotel Saravana Bhavan on North Mada Street, near the Kapaaleswar Temple in Mylapore, at 7:00 a.m.
  • We shall begin our walk at the magnificent Kapaleeshwar temple. Built in the 7th century, this temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. Built in Dravidian-style architecture, it has a towering "Gopuram.”. Guests can expect a mesmerizing experience of rituals and serenity inside the temple. After whetting our spiritual appetite, it is time to cater to the stomach! We have breakfast in a traditional restaurant, which in itself is an integral part of the Mylapore experience.
  • After this, at 8:30 am, we will be heading to our next destination in this Chennai walk, which will be a unique monastic organization called Ramakrishna Math, dedicated to Sri Ramakrishna, the 19th-century saint. Guests will get to see the universal temple, the shrine, a beautiful mantapam, a multimedia museum, and an enchanting library.
  • The next stop at around 9:30 am will be the famous San Thome Basilica, the principal church of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Madras and Mylapore. Built in neo-gothic style, it was built by Portuguese explorers in the 16th century.
  • The last leg of this Chennai walk at 10:30 a.m. takes us to the Light House of Chennai. The view from the top is magnificent and makes for a perfect ending to this walking tour of Chennai.
