Top Local Tips for Chennai

Do not try and drive here . . . I consider myself a pretty good driver - 22 yrs clean licence, no accidents, and I've driven in some challenging places - Turkey, Qatar and Bali, but I wouldn't even think about driving here

Language the locals just don't speak english much! try to arrange for a cabbie who does. You may need to discuss this while booking the cab. If you're walking down the street and try catching a rickshaw, he probably won't understand what you're saying

travel It is always good to have a cab haired for the full day in Chennai. Very dificult to use the local transport. Language is the big problem.
