Itinerary:

Escape the city’s bustle and embark on a serene Pulicat Day Tour from Chennai, a perfect blend of nature, history, and coastal culture. Located just 60 km north of Chennai, Pulicat (Pazhaverkadu) is a scenic coastal town where time slows down, and every corner reveals a story of nature’s beauty and colonial past.

Your journey begins with a 7:00 AM pickup from your Chennai hotel in a comfortable private air-conditioned car or van accompanied by an English-speaking driver-guide. Enjoy the countryside drive as you pass through coastal villages and lush backwaters on your way to Pulicat.

Upon arrival, explore the Pulicat Lake Bird Sanctuary, India’s second-largest brackish water lagoon. The lake is home to migratory birds such as flamingos, pelicans, storks, and herons during the winter months (October–March). You can take a local boat ride (optional) to witness these magnificent birds up close and capture stunning photographs of the wetlands.

Next, visit the ancient Dutch Cemetery and Pulicat Fort, remnants of the region’s colonial heritage dating back to the 17th century. Learn about Pulicat’s history as a thriving Dutch trading post. Stroll through the quaint fishing villages, interact with locals, and witness traditional boat-making and fish-drying practices that have been preserved for generations.

Enjoy a delicious coastal-style lunch (if option selected) at a local seafood restaurant overlooking the lagoon. After lunch, relax by the Pulicat Beach, a peaceful stretch ideal for a walk along the shore and watching fishermen bring in their daily catch.
