About Chennai

Tamil Nadu's capital on the Coromandel Coast, with an international airport, a long city beach and a concentration of large private hospitals that draw patients from across South Asia and the Gulf. Temples and colonial-era buildings sit alongside the hospital districts. The heat peaks from April to June and the north-east monsoon runs October into December, so the cooler, drier months either side are the settled stretch.
