    Start your Bachelor Party by visiting the Marina Beach, the longest urban beach in India, stretching over 6 km along the Bay of Bengal. A perfect place to relax, soak up the sun, and enjoy the sea breeze. You can also indulge in some beach activities like horse riding, volleyball or camel rides. After the beach, head to Elliots Beach, a quieter but equally beautiful beach, where you can enjoy some drinks and snacks.

    Escape the city and head to the beautiful and tranquil hill station of Ooty famous for its tea plantations, scenic landscapes, and toy train ride. Start your day with a trip to the beautiful Pykara Lake where you can enjoy boating and a scenic view of the nearby pine trees. After lunch, visit the Doddabetta Peak, the highest peak in the Nilgiri Mountains to get a panoramic view of the surrounding plains. End your day by enjoying drinks at one of the many cafes overlooking the valley.

  3. Day 3: Mahabalipuram
    1.5 hours drive (60 km) from Chennai

    On your last day, make a pitstop at the coastal town of Mahabalipuram, known for its stunning rock-cut temples and monuments that are UNESCO World Heritage sites. Begin your day by exploring the Shore Temple, one of the oldest stone temples in Southern India, known for its beautiful architecture and location right on the beach.
