Holiday Travel...be inspired.

Short Breaks

Day Trips (sunrise to sunset): Places to see and things to do that will bring you back home by sundown (should you decide not to stay on!). Ideal if you are in Chennai as a visitor. Or maybe you have a colleague, friend, or relative visiting you in Chennai.

Long Weekends (1 to 2-nights): Quick recharges for the five-and-a-half day working warrior, a collection of interesting getaways, within striking distance of Chennai by plane. Or perhaps, you believe that the journey is as much of the experience as the destination is - a selection of places accessible by overnight train. Ideal for solos, couples, or families looking for a break from the routine.

Short Breaks (3 to 4 nights): Ah! Those precious holidays which fall on Mondays or Fridays through divine intervention. Rare to come by, but known well in advance, you want to make sure that you don't miss the chance to plan a short holiday to discover a little more of India or its surroundings. Fly, drive, take a train, be driven...be spoilt for choice.

Beyond the Short Break...

Long Breaks (5 to 7-nights): Take some time off from work and reward yourself (and perhaps your loved ones) - stay somewhere special, experience something new, take a chance...discover yourself.

Beyond the Long Break (> 7-nights): Beyond the short break. School holidays. End of term. Between careers. Retired recently? In depth holidays that are fun experiences - see many places, absorb the sights, sounds, and smells of local destinations, their heritage, their wildlife, their nature. We give you suggestions, and based on your needs, we tailormake your holiday for you.
