Mindful meoweler tips

Tamil Nadu's capital

Chennai is known for its rich cultural heritage, traditional dance forms, and delicious South Indian cuisine. Visit the Kapaleeswarar Temple and relish a bowl of filter coffee at a local joint.

It's hot, meowtch!

Summer temperatures in Chennai can soar up to 40°C. Stay hydrated, wear light-colored clothing, and take frequent breaks in air-conditioned cafes or malls.

Traffic jams impact cat-mutations

Expect heavy traffic in Chennai especially during peak hours. Take the metro or hire a cat-ride to save time and energy!
