You will be picked up from fixed point / hotel leave for sightseeing. Anna Salai or Mount Road, as it was previously called, is the main arterial street of Chennai. It starts at Cooum Creek, south of Fort St. George and ends in Guindy. The area is over 400 years old and is lined by the offices of some of the oldest commercial establishments in Chennai. The road started off as a cart track used by European employees of the British East India Company for travel from the factory at Fort St. George to the church at St. Thomas Mount.

It is built in a combination of Gothic and Romanesque architecture styles and is today a heritage building. The clock tower and flagstaff are prominent fixtures of the façade. The clock chimes every quarter of an hour.

About Chennai
Chennai is the capital of Tamil Nadu on the Bay of Bengal, a city of temples, classical music, a very long beach and a colonial fort.
Chennai, formerly Madras, grew from Fort St George, which the British East India Company built in 1644 on the Coromandel coast and which now houses the state government. The city is spread along the Bay of Bengal beside Marina Beach, one of the longest urban beaches in the world. San Thome Basilica stands near the shore, built over what is believed to be the tomb of St Thomas the Apostle.
Top-ranked sights in Chennai: Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram), Fort St. George, Kapaleeshwarar Temple.
