Rejseplan
Marina strandvandring starter ved fyrtårnet i Marina, som er en unik en med en elevator til at gå op i 10 etager. Det giver en spektakulær udsigt over verdens næstlængste strand. Næste i denne vandretur i Chennai vil vi besøge det maleriske museum inde i fyrtårnet, som har en fascinerende samling af Light House og andet maritimt udstyr fra hele verden. (Fyrtårnet er lukket om mandagen. Om mandagen springer vi dette over).
Vi vil gå forbi mange statuer af fremtrædende borgere i Chennai fra fortiden og nutiden og tale om hvordan de formede byens historie og etos.
Den bedste del af denne vandretur i Chennai følger! Gå på stranden, nyd den festlige atmosfære og lyt til historien om Chennai gennem dens statuer. Der er mange statuer her, som hver især fortæller en del af historien om Chennai. Lær om karakterer fra gamle tamilske eposer, frihedskæmpere såvel som digtere, der revolutionerede samfundets tankegang. Marina Beach Walk er en sand kulturel fordybende oplevelse.
Marina strandvandring slutter, efter at vi tager en guidet tur inde i Parthasarathy-templet og dets omgivelser. Vores kulturevangelist vil fortolke de farverige ritualer, der udføres i templet, og forklare Guds rolle i det moderne Chennai-samfund. Denne vandretur i Chennai vil efterlade dig med en forståelse af, hvordan Gud forbliver lige så relevant i dag i hverdagen i denne region som tidligere!
Vi vil lære om, hvordan Swamy VIvekananda gjorde den vestlige verden opmærksom på indisk filosofi. Han rejste meget og holdt den berømte tale ved World Parliament of Religions i 1893.

Highly recommend this tour! Hareesh was knowledgeable and hospitable. It’s titled Marina Beach walk but it is much more. The temple is astounding. The Vivekananda cultural center is interesting. And the Marina Beach is fabulous. Hareesh did an excellent job in navigating the tour.
We had a great time on the walking tour with Nivi! She made us feel very welcome and was very knowledgeable about all the sights we visited. She did an excellent job explaining the key points.
Hello! I am glad you enjoyed Marina Beach walk with Nivethitha. Thanks for taking the time for this review. Your feedback is very valuable to us. It was our pleasure hosting you.
An absolute must-do tour for any tourist to Chennai. My guide was Hareesh, who was very knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The vistas from the top of the Madras Lighthouse, over the beach, sea and city are not to be missed. The beach walk also took us by the beautiful buildings of the Madras University campus. I cannot imagine coming to Chennai and not taking this tour! My tour included (I think substituted) a visit to St. Thomas Cathedral Basilica, which was truly fascinating. TIP: Bring your water bottle and a hat.

We just got back from a private tour of the Marina area. Our guide Hareesh was extremely knowledgeable and we learnt so much. The visit to the Parthasrthy Temple was the highlight of a very interesting morning. I would highly recommend this business, they will taylor your experience to suit you and you will get a good understanding of the culture and local life of Chennai.

I met with my guide at their Ramakrishna Math center for a very interesting tour. Nivethitha is knowledgeable and set an agenda for the tour that was best for me and the day. We walked along Marin beach, tried some local food, and saw the lights and activities of the local scene. We ended with a tour of the monument for the Chief Minister. Nivethitha ensured I got a cab back to my hotel. The tour was perfect.

Mr Kannan was very knowledgeable and passionate about Chennai and India history. He made some minor changes to suit my interests. Can highly recommend.
This tour was really fun! Nivi did a great job communicating with us the whole process. She has a valuable amount of information on the area, fort, temples ect. She went out of her way to make recommendations for us on a few things post tour. Highly recommend Nivi and this tour of Chennai.
We have just spent a fabulous morning with Nivi and Ganesh who have guided us around the Marina Beach area. They are very engaging and informative. Great fun to be with. We were given just the right amount of information so we didn't get that awful brain overload. It is a very interesting area. The temple was so colourful and full of life. The beach is lovely and the museum was very interesting. Nivi kept me informed by WhatsApp when she would be arriving at our to collect us which is always reassuring. We were also dropped off at our hotel which was very kind of them. We were treated to drinks at a local cafe which we were not expecting....so thank you for that. I also enjoyed being driven through the city. I felt that I got to see some of the day to day life of the city. I would recommend this trip. Even though we were only in Chennai for 24hours I felt this trip gave us a really good overview of the city.
What a fabulous trip. Nivi and Ganesh our guides were very engaging informative and good fun. They gave us just the right amount of information without giving us brain overload. We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel which was good. We were also treated to drinks at a local cafe. Marina Beach area is very interesting. There are temples, museums and a very nice beach. We were driven everywhere. It was so hot, even in the early morning, that I wouldn't have been able to do a lot of walking. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.
At each site I learned about local history. At the temple I also learned about Hinduism and was able to experience temple activities; Vivekananda House informed me of Swami Viveknandas life and impact on India and the world; and the Lighthouse view was just beautiful. I highly recommend this tour.
