Destination & City Travel Guide
About Dhaka
Dhaka needs a realistic plan for road travel. Old Dhaka holds Lalbagh Fort, Ahsan Manzil and lanes with food and craft shops, while the National Parliament complex lies in a different part of the capital. The Buriganga still shapes the southern riverfront. Travellers from India can spend a day in one district rather than losing hours crossing between distant stops. Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport is north of the older centre, and road traffic makes a fixed arrival appointment risky.

Tips for travellers from India
Gulshan and Banani are practical bases for meetings in northern Dhaka, but they do not put the old-city monuments nearby. A sightseeing day around Ahsan Manzil, the Buriganga and Lalbagh Fort should therefore start from a realistic road plan. These southern stops belong together; the National Parliament complex is better scheduled separately. A hotel’s district is more useful to an airport driver than a generic reference to central Dhaka, which covers a large and congested area.
The airport’s shuttle-bus information describes a connection to nearby transport points, not a direct sightseeing circuit through Old Dhaka. Match its stopping point with the next leg before relying on it with luggage. In September 2026, international flights still used Terminals 1 and 2 while the new Terminal 3 awaited its opening, so give an airport driver the terminal printed on the booking rather than assuming the newest building. Around Ahsan Manzil, a riverfront visit gives context to the Buriganga’s working role; Lalbagh Fort provides a different enclosed heritage setting. A boat outing and a fort visit also need separate arrangements. If the trip is mainly business in Gulshan, reserve an uninterrupted block for Old Dhaka rather than squeezing it between appointments on opposite sides of the capital.
Best time to visit Dhaka
November to February, about 14–28°C, for city walks.

About Madras
Chennai, called Madras until 1996, is one of India's largest metropolitan areas, with car plants along the Sriperumbudur and Oragadam belt, a busy container port and a large share of the country's medical travel. Its December music and dance season is the biggest event in the Carnatic calendar. Visitors use the city as the gateway to the Shore Temple at Mahabalipuram, the silk and temple town of Kanchipuram and the former French enclave of Puducherry along the East Coast Road.

Tips for travellers
For a short trip, Egmore, Nungambakkam and T. Nagar are central and well served by the metro, while Mylapore and Besant Nagar put you close to the older temples and the beach. Chennai Metro's Blue Line runs from the airport through the city to Chennai Central, and the Green Line links Chennai Central with St. Thomas Mount via Koyambedu. South India's first air-conditioned suburban train started on the Beach to Chengalpattu line in April 2025, and the older suburban trains and MTC buses are inexpensive but crowded at peak hours. App cabs and auto-rickshaws fill the gaps.
The weather is kindest from November to February. The north-east monsoon brings most of Chennai's rain in October and November, and cyclones in those months can disrupt flights and flood roads. The Margazhi music and dance season runs through December into January, with concerts at sabhas across Mylapore and T. Nagar, and Pongal in mid-January closes many offices for several days. At the Kapaleeshwarar Temple and other Hindu temples, remove footwear and dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered. Marina Beach is for walking rather than swimming, as the currents are strong. For Mahabalipuram, leave early to see the Shore Temple before the midday heat, and combine it with the Pancha Rathas and Arjuna's Penance nearby.
Best time to visit Madras
November to February, with days of about 24-30°C and lower humidity. October and November bring the north-east monsoon rains.

By Rail: Chennai Central (MGR Central) and Chennai Egmore are the main terminals. Vande Bharat trains run to Mysuru via Bengaluru, to Coimbatore and to Tirunelveli, and the Tamil Nadu Express links Central with New Delhi.
By Road: The East Coast Road leads to Mahabalipuram and Puducherry, and NH 48 runs west to Bengaluru. TNSTC and SETC buses for the southern districts leave from the Kalaignar Centenary Bus Terminus at Kilambakkam.
