Weekend getaway from Chennai - Pulikat

Less than two hours north of Chennai by road will lead you to Pulicat, a sleepy little seaside town in the Thiruvallur district. Best known for its saltwater lagoon, the second largest in the country, the place is also a haven for weekenders looking for some adventure in the local wildlife sanctuary or even those out for a romantic weekend or day trip with family and friends.
  • Distance from Chennai: 54 kilometres by road
  • Best Time to Visit: October to march. Between December and January, the Tourism Board organizes the Flamingo festival when thousands of the bird species align on the swampy regions of the Pulicat Lake.
  • Places to visit in Pulicat: Pulicat Lake, Pulicat Sanctuary, Dutch Fort, Dutch Cemetery, two neighbouring villages of Vedurupattu and Nelapattu
