4. The Huddleston Gardens of Theosophical Society
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 102 reviews
A tranquil walk in the Huddleston Gardens of the Theosophical Society of India might be needed after grappling with the city din of Chennai. The Theosophical Society is spread over 260 acres but you can certainly cover the garden, which is home to migratory birds, fruit bats, snakes, jackals, wild cats, mongooses, hares and a variety of spiders. A 450-year-old banyan tree resides in the garden with aerial roots covering 60,000 square meters.

This is a beautiful park with a lake. People come here in mornings and evenings for walking, jogging and running. The park atmosphere is peaceful to sit down with a cup of hot coffee and read books. Family picnics can be organized. The best part is it is bang in the middle of the city.

The Tholkappia Poonga is an eco-park managed by the Tamil Nadu State Government. It aims to restore and protect the fragile eco-system of the Adyar estuary and creek. It's a tropical forest and the creek side has Mangrove vegetation. We were able to spot many birds - Pelicans, Egrets, Cormorants, Spot-billed ducks, Herons, Swamp hen etc. We also spotted many red bugs, butterflies and snails. Entry to the park is only possible by taking prior approval online. A guide comes along and shows you the path, so that you don't get lost. It would have been lovely, if the guide can also shed information on the unique flora and fauna. There were many trees and birds, we wanted to know more about, but our guide was clueless about them. It's a lovely patch of green and serenity among the hustle and bustle of Chennai. It's definitely a place worth visiting - but do carry a binoculars. We regretted not carrying one today.

This expansive beach is Chennai's most famous tourist attraction, though the undercurrent is too strong for all but the strongest swimmers. Look out for the "Kannagi" statue on Marina Beach, which tells the story of the legendary character from a South Indian epic.
