What you'll do
Our tour starts at the famous 2000-year-old Kapaleeswarar temple in Mylapore area.
Following this we will take a walk around the quaint lanes surrounding the temple where you will witness the local Tamil culture in full fervor.
After treating our taste buds to some local food along the way, we will understand another cultural identity unique to Tamilnadu - the silk sarees.
Other things to note
Chennai is quite a conservative city and so is the culture within the temple. It is usually not a concern, but wearing modest clothing would be a safe choice.

Born and raised in Chennai, the tasty food, colorful places and beautiful people here are an inevitable part of my being. As I started travelling and learning about different places on the outside, I started realizing what a culturally enriched place I hail from. The stories I have heard from my parents, grandparents and various storytellers around have inspired me to share them with you too!

Lalitha was an incredible guide! She is nice, friendly, professional and polite. She was so knowledgeable about the history of the temple and the local Thamizh culture. The bajji and rose milk were a nice touch. Overall I would highly recommend her and its a good value for money!
