THEITINERARY

Be sure to travel light. There’s a lot of walking in store for you.
YOUR FIRST STOP:ENGAGE WITH THE CROC

The Madras Crocodile Bank is home to a variety of snakes (including anacondas), crocodiles, turtles and birds.
As you explore the zoo on foot, you can spot crocodiles basking in the sun, turtles resting by the sand dunes and snakes crawling against the trees.
AT THE BANK:A GUIDED TOUR
You’ll be taken on an hour-long tour of all the exotic reptiles and other animals, in all their glory.
We’ve also arranged for you to get to see the staff feeding the crocodiles, gnashing their frighteningly powerful jaws on their feed.

There is no better way to see the unfiltered South Indian culture than Dakshinachitra.
Discover traditional Indian homes, enjoy the folk dances at the open-air museum and engage in various workshops to get a tiny glimpse into the hustle bustle of South India.

We promise that the food and beverages will not be excessively spicy and have also been held to the highest quality standards.
You have absolutely nothing to worry about.
AT DAKSHINACHITRA:GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY
Pottery is a very rewarding experience in both a creative and spiritual sense. To take a lump of clay into your hands and give it a form, which in turn gives it life is a great accomplishment. Witness local artisans express their emotions, experiences and creativity through the craft.
AT DAKSHINACHITRA: TAKE BACK HOME
Experience the culture by learning how to make "palm leaf thoranam" or other forms of decorations made using palm leaves.
It’s a decoration added at the entrances of South Indian homes during festivals. You even get to take home a souvenir that you made by yourself.
AT DAKSHINACHITRA: CATCH A PUPPET ACT
Sit back and relax while the puppets tell you tales of history, culture or maybe just a comedic Indian drama.
A fun way to pass the time, isn’t it?
AT DAKSHINACHITRA: A CART RIDE, MAYBE?
You may have noticed that bullock carts are a thing this side of the world, but you may not have expected to engage in the experience first-hand.
Well, here’s your chance!
AT DAKSHINACHITRA: SHOP A LITTLE
You don’t leave someplace satisfied unless you purchase a souvenir to take back home. Enter the crafts bazaar - with handpicked items you might never find anywhere else in Chennai.
