Most travelers come to Kanchipuram in tourist buses,
personal or rental cars. This saves a lot of time, not having to worry
about transit between locations. This might even be a wiser choice that
helps them avoid a lot of frustration.
Most travelers come to Kanchipuram from Chennai
(Madras).
Searching for transportation inside the city can be quite an
adventure. There is no reliable mass transit system. The best modes of
transport inside the city itself are auto- and cycle-rickshaws. If you
want to relish on the beauty of the city, Cycle rickshaws would be the
best way. But, there is always the apprehension of being ripped off by
the guys. Local people know the prevailing rates very well and bargain
accordingly. The charge is not always proportionate to distance. It may
vary depending on traffic and road conditions in the specific route.
On the better side, cycle-rickshaw guys are more reliable. Needless
to say, the ride would be very pleasant if you offer them a little more
than they demand. Bargaining is the keyword.
Train from Chennai Egmore change at Chengalpattu for
Kanchipuram takes three hours usually. It is also connected with
Bangalore .
