Camping in Chennai

Chennai, near the Bay of Bengal is a bustling coastal city hub and has been nicknamed the ‘Detroit of India’ thanks to its numerous automobile industries around the city. However, other than walking the winding roads of Chennai or spending the day at the beach, the outdoors of this bustling urban hub can soothe your heart and soul. From thickets of evergreen forests, craggy terrains and low-lying hills that offer a peek of the blue ocean waters in the distance, camping in Chennai can give you a bite of the richness of nature that Tamil Nadu has to offer.

Spend a night under the stars with the trickling sound of waterfalls in the background at Nagalapuram. You can trek through the lovely forest trails or enjoy an outdoors picnic besides a bubbling stream. Camping in Chennai can also be done at the iconic Tada Falls, with refreshing rock pools at different points of the trekking routes to keep you going to the falls. If you’re ready for a road trip as you bop to your favorite summer songs, travel to Yercaud and take in the mesmerizing view of clouds touching the tips of the surrounding hills.

Camping in Chennai isn’t complete without setting your tent besides the majestic dark swells of the Bay of Bengal and Mahabalipuram is a top spot that allows you to take in seaside vistas outside your chosen campsite.
