Storytrails

Story-based walking tours and short excursions that zig-zag through the beat and the pulse of the city; from its oldest parts to its busy bazaars, through dance and art to its rural heart. Unlike sight-seeing tours, these trails focus on the everyday sights on the streets - the local customs, symbolisms and the fascinating stories behind the mundane rituals of life. Hosted by a team of articulate storytellers, these trails are an enjoyable way for visitors to appreciate the local way of life. Pick from nine different tours in Chennai.

Cook With SundariKrishna

Continuous interaction with a number of International visitors to Chennai, India during the last few years, has encouraged me to provide a platform where guests are not only in a position to enjoy the nuances of Indian fine dining but further learn the art of cooking depending on their interest. The guests can choose from a variety of menu lists which will be provided through email on booking. I also teach Ayurveda and Vegan recipes

Walking into SundariKrishna's house is like walking into a warm hug. I went to a private cooking class and came out with so much knowledge about traditional south indian food and culture, not to mention some great new skills that I've been trying out back home! There were so many options for food and I got to try some vegetables and spices that I've never tried before. I attended the class on Diwali and was so accommodated and spent the evening eating the food we had prepared and enjoying the company. This was such a unique and amazing experience, I highly recommend this for couples, families and solo travellers alike

Manthra Bali Spa is one of the best spa experiences I have ever had. The ambience is beautiful. I had the four hand massage for 90 minutes. The therapists Athik and Ayu were pleasant, and amazing at their coordinated four hand massage. I’ve tried this spa in my previous visit three years ago from USA and it has maintained a superior standard. I would without any hesitation recommend this spa to anyone visiting Chennai. Total and complete relaxation after visiting this spa Dev Anand M
