Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vi leder mod Mylapore et gammelt boligområde i Chennai, hvis historie går tilbage til romertiden, da det plejede at handle peber og fin klud med Rom for Guld! Vi besøger det storslåede Kapaleeshwar tempel. Bygget i det 7. århundrede er dette tempel dedikeret til Lord Shiva. Bygget i Dravidian-stilarkitektur har den et tårnhøje "Gopuram". Gæsterne kan forvente en fascinerende oplevelse af ritualer og ro i templet. Vores kulturelle evangelist vil demystificere begivenhederne i templet!
Vi besøger en unik klosterorganisation kaldet Ramakrishna Math, dedikeret til Sri Ramakrishna 1800-tallets helgen. Gæsterne får se det universelle tempel, helligdommen, en smuk Mantapam, et multimediemuseum og et fortryllende bibliotek.
Dette er et tempel dedikeret til Sai Baba, den store mystik, der forene hinduer og muslimer og prædikede om universel kærlighed og broderskab. Templet er bygget med hvid marmor og har en lampe, der er tændt i mere end 100 år
Vi besøger den berømte San Thome-basilikaen, den vigtigste kirke af den romersk-katolske ærkebiskop af Madras og Mylapore. Vi kan se relikvier af St. Thomas her. Det er en af kun tre kirker i verden, der er bygget på en apostles grav. De to andre er St. Peters Basilika i Vatikanet og Santiago de Compostela Cathedral i Spanien.
Fort St George er den første engelske fæstning bygget i 1644 af East India Company. Vi besøger St. Marys Kirke, Indiens ældste anglikanske kirke. Vores kulturelle evangelist vil tage dig til et malerisk museum med rigdomme fra kolonitiden og fortælle historien om, hvordan det østindiske selskab morphed fra et handelsselskab til indiske linjal!
Vi vil udforske mindesmærket for Swami Vivekananda, som var en stor filosof. Hans taler i Verdens Religionsparlament afholdt i september 1893 gjorde ham berømt som en taler af guddommelig ret og som en budbringer af indisk visdom til den vestlige verden. Om mandagen er der lukket.
Gå på Marina Beach, nyd festligheden og lær arven fra byen gennem dens statuer. Få at vide, hvorfor en tyrekamp er tæt på hjertet af chennaitter ved Jalikattu-mindesmærket. Bestig et gammelt fyrtårn for at få et utroligt perspektiv af Chennai! Bemærk fyret er lukket om mandagen.

I have done this tour before with a different guide and company. This guide was extremely knowledgeable. Wonderful tour.
There was a mix up with the pick up location which had us running late, but the guide Gunnan was knowledgeable and flexible to a changing schedule. Some beautiful sites to see in Chennai
Very nice guide thanks Kennan
Great experience with a valuable, informative tour. 👍💯
In all my travels this is definitely the best city tour I have taken Our guide Mr Kannan was excellent - he explained everything in such an interesting way that you’d not get bored Thank you Mr Kannan
Kannan was very knowledgeable and I learned so much from him.
I had a wonderful experience on the Chennai city tour with 5 Senses, and I highly recommend them to anyone visiting the city. The entire itinerary was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to see Chennai’s major landmarks at a comfortable pace without feeling rushed. What impressed me most was their flexibility and excellent customer service. I had expressed an interest in visiting the Madras High Court, which was not part of the original itinerary, and they kindly accommodated my request. It was a much-appreciated addition that made the tour even more memorable. They also paired us with an excellent guide and a safe, professional driver, making the day smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. A special thank you to our guide, Kannan, who was outstanding. He is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating insights into the history, architecture, and significance of the temples we visited, as well as the beautiful Santhome Basilica. His explanations brought each site to life and made the experience far more meaningful. Kannan was also very patient, attentive, and always happy to answer our questions. During our delicious vegetarian lunch, he took the time to explain each dish, how it is traditionally eaten, and the best way to enjoy the meal. It was a thoughtful touch that gave us a deeper appreciation of South Indian cuisine and culture. Overall, this was an excellent tour. Thank you to 5 Senses for the well-organised itinerary and exceptional service, and to Kannan for making the day so informative, engaging, and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to recommend 5 Senses and especially Kannan to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable Chennai experience.
