Parks Places Map
Parks in India:
Maidan
My advice is to wear comfy shoes! Walking through the park can be tricky with the uneven paths, and trust me, your feet will thank you later.
Sanjay Gandhi National Park
My advice is to explore the outskirts of the park too. Some of the less-trodden paths offer unique views and fewer people.
Shivaji Park
Pack some snacks or a picnic. There aren’t many food stalls inside, and it’s nice to chill on the grass with some homemade treats when you're exploring!
If you're into photography, golden hour is magical here. Sunrise or sunset (around 6:30 PM) gives you the perfect lighting for those Insta shots.
Jim Corbett National Park
Pack a decent camera and binoculars. You’ll want to capture all the wildlife action. I brought a basic camera, but I missed some amazing shots.
Central Park
Semmozai Punga
Check out the local food stalls outside for some authentic Chennai street food. I tried the dosas and they were amazing and so much cheaper than restaurant prices!
Don't miss the small lake area; it's serene and perfect for some quiet time. I nearly overlooked it but ended up loving it there!
Anna Tower
Gwindi National Park
I recommend wearing comfy shoes! The trails can get a bit tricky and you'll want to explore without worrying about sore feet.
Prayadarshini Park
Definitely bring your own water and snacks. The cafes there are kinda pricey, and you don’t wanna waste time searching for cheap eats.
Panagal Park
If you like photography, go for the late afternoon light around 5 PM. The park looks amazing then, and you’ll get some gorgeous sunset shots.
I suggest visiting Panagal Park in the early morning, around 7 AM. It’s super peaceful then, and you get to enjoy the greenery without the crowd. Trust me, you’ll appreciate the calm vibe!
