Chennai is the capital city of the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. It is a busy metropolis with a dense population. If one wants to get away from the hustle bustle of city, they need not travel too far. The east coast road connecting Chennai with Pondicherry offers a number of picnic spots closer to city. Starting from Muttukadu boat club, it has attractions like Dakshinachitra cultural museum and Crocodile bank. All the three spots give an opportunity to connect with nature. One can spend half a day in each of the spots. It is no wonder that the east coast road is considered the recreational hub of Chennai.
You really need those when you liven a city. I hate the hustle and bustle of the city.
It is very important for a metropolitan city to have a picnic area around it.
It’s coming in the weekend … I hope you’re gonna get a nice picnic, my friend
Thanks Lado. Not really sure if I can visit ECR this weekend. We have some other plans.
Anyway, have a nice weekend, my friend
Thanks tasartcraft for your wonderful comments.
Always good to get away. Looks like a great place to visit.
Yes Carol. ECR is our favorite go-to-place for a picnic.
I assume that you often visit this place ?
You are right Vidocka. Our residence is located on this stretch of road but on the city side. It takes just about half an hour for us to reach any of these three places. I cannot keep a count on how many times we would have visited Dakshinachitra or the boat club. But we visit crocodile bank less often.
I learned something new. I did not know anything about the South Indian state Tamil Nadu. Thank you friend.
Thanks Lacho. I am glad you learned few things about Tamil Nadu.
Interesting places to visit. Thank you for sharing.
I cannot agree more with you Sharon. Chennai has many interesting places to visit.
One such place is Mahabalipuram.
You are right Raaman. Mahabalipuram is another great place on ECR. I have covered places that lie between Chennai and Mahabalipuram in this article.
The crocodile bank sounds interesting as do the other attractions.
Yes Gloridaze. Crocodile bank is an interesting option.
Thanks Abhishek. Beaches are the saving grace now with a long dry season and a blazing hot sun.
Short and clear! I have been there
Oops. I meant to say beaches and the picnic spots on ECR are like oasis for the city during summer months.
