Santhome Church is the greatest symbol of multi-culture and religious harmony as people from all religions visit this Church to seek solace and eternal peace.This church was built initially as a mausoleum, but it has now transversed into a Basilica owing to it’s gaining popularity and importance. Beneath the towering white embodiment of this basilica lies the body of Saint Thomas who came to India in 52 AD to preach about Christianity. He was successful in converting a large population of the locals residing in Tamil Nadu and Kerala with his wisdom and powerful preaching. He thereafter formed a community that is now known as Syrian Christians. This church also houses a museum that displays souvenirs of Saint Thomas and gives visitors an insight into the glorious past of this church during the historical times.

Popular Chennai Side Trips Including Tamil Nadu's Golden Triangle

places to visit near greams road chennai

Religious Images/UIG/Getty Images

There are many places to visit near Chennai that are popular side trips from the city. The tourist circuit of Chennai, Mammallapuram and Kanchipuram is often referred to as Tamil Nadu's Golden Triangle. These destinations can also be individually visited as day trips from Chennai. If you'd like to get close to nature, consider Vedantangal Bird Sanctuary or Madras Crocodile Bank. Further afield, Pondicherry attracts a lot of visitors from Chennai and can be covered on a long day trip. It's really worth staying there though, as it's a relaxing place to spend some time.

Mammallapuram (Mahabalipuram)

Mammallapuram (or Mahabalipuram as it's otherwise known) has a thriving backpacker scene. Famous attractions include the windswept Shore Temple on the water’s edge, Five Rathas (sculptured temples in the shape of chariots), and Arjuna's Penance (a huge carving on the face of a rock depicting scenes from the Mahabharatha). Mammallapuram is known for its surfing and stone sculpture industry as well. The annual Mamallapuram Dance Festival is held during late December to late January at Arjuna's Penance. Plan your trip there with this Mammallapuram beach travel guide.

  • Location: About a hour an a half south of Chennai, along the East Coast Road.

Looking for sand and surf? You don't need to go as far as Mammallapuram. The fishing village of Kovalam (also called Covelong) has one of the best surf schools in India, Covelong Point Social Surf School . The school's fantastic new surf facility opened in mid 2015, with a cafe, lounge and guest rooms right on the beach. Part of the earnings go towards funding social projects in the village. A Surf, Music and Yoga Festival is held every September, and free surfing lessons are offered as part of it. The Taj hotel group also has a luxury resort, the Fisherman's Cove , in the area.

  • Location: About an hour south of Chennai, on the East Coast Road.

Dakshina Chitra

One of the top museums in India that showcase the country's culture , it features a collection of 18 authentic historical houses from all over south India. Each one has been transported and reconstructed on the premises, and contains an exhibition related to the lifestyle of the community that it belonged to. The museum is a project of the Madras Craft Foundation. It opened in December 1996. Crafts are promoted via activities and workshops for visitors, and there's also has a handicrafts shop on the premises.

Madras Crocodile Bank

For a close encounter of the reptilian kind, don't miss Madras Crocodile Bank where you'll be able to meet more than 35 species of reptiles and amphibians. This includes 17 species of crocodiles (numbering 1,800 of these snappy creatures) as well lizards (including komodo dragons), snakes and turtles. Although it's one of the largest reptile zoos in the world, there is a much broader focus on conservation and education. Activities include guided tours, reptile feeding, and night safaris (when the crocodiles really come to life!). The most infamous crocodile, the massive and savage Jaws III, is publicly fed every Sunday at 4.30 p.m. You can also join the volunteer program.

  • Location: Between Kovalam and Mammallapuram on the East Coast Road, south of Chennai.

Experience "Life on the Udder Side", at The Farm! This property started as a dairy farm 1974, and has grown into a rustic rural tourism destination. The owners opened a restaurant and store there in 2009, where they serve and sell their organic produce. This includes cheese, butter, ghee, pickles, jams, rice, oils, and breads. The restaurant's wood-fired ovens are a highlight, and they churn out delicious pizzas.  Those who want to learn about farming can go on a guided walk through the stables (kids can feed the animals) and vegetable gardens. Book ahead on weekends, as it gets busy.

  • Location: 1/277 Semancheri Village, Old Mahabalipuram Road. It's about an hour south of Chennai.

Pondicherry and Auroville

Pondicherry, a separate union territory on the east cost of Tamil Nadu, has a French feel and a beach vibe. This former 18th century French colony is home to Sri Aurobindo Ashram , which attracts plenty of spiritual seekers. Sri Aurobindo's teachings were based on the concept of integral yoga and surrendering to a higher consciousness. Nearby, Auroville is a experiential spiritual community set up with the objective of human unity. It was founded in 1968 by a French woman called "The Mother", who was the successor of Sri Aurobindo. Check out these top cultural things to do in Pondicherry and stay at one of these 12 Pondicherry hotels near the beach for all budgets.

  • Location: Three and a half hours south of Chennai, along the East Coast Road.

Kanchipuram

Labeled as the "City of a Thousand Temples", Kanchipuram is not just famous for its distinctive silk saris. It was once the capital of the Pallava dynasty, which ruled widely in south India from the 2nd to 9th centuries. Today, only a 100 or so temples remain, many of them with unique architectural beauty. The diversity of temples is particularly noteworthy. There are both Shiva and Vishnu temples, built by various rulers (the Cholas, Vijayanagar kings, Muslims and British also ruled this part of Tamil Nadu) who each refined the design. In case you want to shop, here are some tips for buying Kanchipuram saris.

  • Location:  Two hours southwest of Chennai, on the main road to Bangalore .

Vedantangal Bird Sanctuary

If you're into nature, Vedantangal Bird Sanctuary is a good place to go bird watching at the right time of year. A diverse variety of migratory birds come to nest in the open mangrove habitat from November to March. For the best sightings, go early morning or late afternoon at the height of breeding season, in December and January. Bring binoculars and your zoom lenses! Binoculars can also be hired. Nearby, the lesser known Karikili Bird Sanctuary is worth visiting too.

  • Location: About two hours south of Chennai, along National Highway 32.
  • Opening Hours: 6 a.m. until 6 p.m.
  • Tickets: 25 rupees for adults, 5 rupees for children. This is one of the rare places in India where the price is the same for Indians and foreigners.

Gingee Fort

There are not many forts remaining in Tamil Nadu but Gingee Fort is one of them. It occupies three hills (and requires an energetic climb), on the way to Tiruvannamalai from Chennai. This remote and highly impenetrable fortress was apparently referred to as "Troy of the East" by the British. It's in ruins now but still has many interesting structures, including temples, prison cells, marriage hall, and sacred pond.

  • Location: About three hours southwest of Chennai, along National Highway 32.

Instead of going south, head north of Chennai to the historic seaside port town of Pulicat (also known by its Tamil name of Pazhaverkadu). This off-beat tourist destination is part of what's known as Dutch India. Except for a short break, the Dutch ruled Pulicat for 214 years, from 1606 to 1825 when it was relinquished to the British. However, Pulicat's heritage dates as far back as the 3rd century BC, to the ancient Chola dynasty. The town's monuments include a Dutch Cemetery, temples, churches and mosques. In addition, Pulicat has the second largest brackish water lake in India, after Chilika Lake in Odisha . The Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary attracts some rare birds, including flamingos.

  • Location: An hour and a half north of Chennai, along State Highway 104.

The Countryside

Fruit Shop On Greams Road

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Any day anytime is fine to visit this place! They have a good range of liquid food both fresh juices and milkshakes! Their combinations are pretty good and ask them for seasonal fruit juices available! Faloodas aren't the best in town but certainly a good... one. Tender coconut pudding is a must try! More

Everything is good but today I had a bitter time in Kilpauk.I was there by 9.30 p.m. and first I thought that the people are talking so loud but I think the problem is with the property where the voice is echoing too much.Hope the... authorities notice.Price is very reasonable and the quality is very very good. More

This place is just awesome !! Have been to this place many times. They serve real yummy juices/milkshakes/ice-cream and fruit combos and puddings !! Place is small but the space inside is very well managed and ambiance gives you a good feel :) My personal... favorite is Jughead special. This drink is combination of dry fruits and milk and is very filling. Must try for any one who is visiting this place. They have fresh strawberry/kiwi with ice-cream combo which is yumm :) In summer they also server the same combo with fresh mangoes ! I also like caramel custard pudding, finnesse, blue dot special !! Infact all of them are worth a try since nothing on their menu will disappoint you !! Recently they have introduced Falooda in their menu (although its available only at selected outlets) which is very tasty and will make u crave for more :) A very cool place to hangout with friends and family !! More

The name might be a bit misleading prompting you to think that ur on your way to stock your fridge with fruits... Heard about this place when i first moved to Chennai. All varieties of juices... Clean place and the yummiest falooda.

best juice shop in Chennai :) miss it in Bangalore :( hope they start one soon in Bangalore :) the juice is fresh and anytime without any spoil. their fruit salad is just the best i ever tasted all fruits you can see.. the falooda... is so unique that you will never find it anywhere else.. my favorite juice goes on for a big list :) Walnut Shake Mango Shake Fruit Salad Falooda Watermelon Orange More

Very near to Appollo Hospitals Chennai. The ambience is great and the shakes are awesome. Still remember those days sipping the pomegranate juice listening to the Coldplay number in background. Awesome!

This is the best place in chennai if you want to have fresh juices or shakes, they have got a variety of options which would leave us in a confusion as to what to choose. Their service is quick. It's a place that has to... be tried at least once. More

The place is amazing. Has an eclectic choice of juices, shakes, ice creams, punches and mocktails in the menu. Difficult to make a choice there. The ambience is casual and chatty (which is what you wnat when you want to have a shake) and the... service is quick. But the best part is the amazing beverages that they serve. Wide variety and consistent quality. Must visit for anyone in Chennai. More

Fresh fruit salads and fresh juices !! Very reasonably priced. Great variety and the names of the juices are international what more can you ask.. I recommend this place to cafe coffee day and other places where spend time brewing to coffee and tea. Fresh... fruits are great for health and this is the best place in chennai to indulge in a healthy diet. More

Having read several favourable reviews of this fruit juice shop on the TA, during my very recent travel to Chennai I decided to spend sometime at the original Fruit Juice Shop located on Greames Road as the name suggests .I did not regret that decision... . The restaurant is quite unlike regular fruit juice shops and serves a variety of delicious fruit juices and milk shakes . We ordered " jughead" shake, mint juice and watermelon juice which were served promptly . The prices are reasonable and it was good to see groups of youngsters and children relishing health drinks at this very popular joint,avoiding harmful aerated drinks . The shop also has an outlet on Anna Salai . Highly recommended . Go and visit it once while in Chennai with friends and family members, you will not be disappointed . More

Juices: yummy, try lemon mint cool.....its an instant relief from the hot climate of chennai. Taste: good. Ambiance: Basic and clean. Service: quick Value for money: good. Overall: is my favorite!

Felt great to drop in at the 'Fruit Shop on Greams Road' during my visit to Chennai earlier this year- This establishment is a truly one-of-its-kind fresh fruit juice and desert bar. Was THE place to see and be seen when I was in High... school in the mid 90's. Pleased to see that the proliferation of coffee bars in Chennai since then hasn't held a candle to the popularity of this joint. A good place to meet up with friends and share some laughs. Quality of beverages and service is top notch. Try their signature blended shakes - my Favourite is the aptly titled 'Jugheads special'. More

Juice Quality and taste has come down to average ,No doubt Furit shop juice and Milk Shake are very fine Quality and taste . very recently i have visited and ordered for figero ...added sugar very much and early fruit pulp use to come while... drinking these days was missing . More

Thinking of some real fruit juice in Chennai? This is the place to be. Been going there from 2009. The juice they make s amazing, mouthwatering and yes, out of the world.. Must try, pure Kabul pomegranate juice, caramel custard. Added to this, a good... hangout spot. Nice place for a good conversation with Ur loved one! More

fruit juices are good for health but add a zing to the juices at The fruit shop.....a mix and match of imagination....to chill your thought......enjoy a fruit drink.
