Top Local Tips for Chennai

Beware of the porters at the railway stations. They charge exborbitantly! Less luggage more comfort. Use luggage with wheels and you can haul this around, but the rail platforms have to be reached over a walking bridge that bridge is not designed to the handi-capped nor to the elderly and the children. You should be able to lift the luggage with hands and then carry around. Porters are there to help and the help comes at a cost. Auto-rickshaws are easy and cheap to get around and you can use them. Buses are crowded and avoid them.
