  1. Day 1: Visit the Crocodile Bank
    50 minutes (20.1 miles) from Chennai International Airport

    Get up close and personal with some of the world's largest reptiles at the Crocodile Bank. Home to over 2,400 crocodiles and alligators, this conservation center is dedicated to preserving these fascinating creatures. Take a guided tour to learn about the different species of crocodiles and watch them being fed. If you're feeling brave, you can even hold a baby crocodile or take a behind-the-scenes tour of the facility. Don't forget to visit the snake park and see the king cobras and other venomous snakes up close.

  2. Day 2: Trek to Nagalapuram Falls

    If you love adventure and the great outdoors, you won't want to miss the chance to trek to Nagalapuram Falls. This stunning waterfall is hidden deep in the hills of the Eastern Ghats and can only be reached by a challenging hike through the forest. The trail is around 6 kilometers long and takes around 3 hours to complete. The reward at the end is a breathtaking waterfall cascading into a crystal-clear pool. Take a refreshing swim and enjoy a picnic lunch before making the return journey.
