Find People Who Share Your Passions

Sometimes still referred to by its former official name, Madras, and the capital of Tamil Nadu state, Chennai can be a great place for expats, especially with the InterNations community helping you to make the most of your experience!

Do you want to continue with your hobbies — or discover new ones — while living in Chennai? There’s a variety of InterNations Groups you can join, including everything from sightseeing to hiking. These are run by dedicated Consuls with at least one activity each month, such as dinners in Chennai’s finest restaurants or outings with other expats to explore all that the popular tourist destination has to offer, from Fort St. George, built in 1653 by the English Company of the Eastern Indies, which now houses the Parliament of Tamil Nadu, to the Birla Planetarium, one of the most modern planetariums in the country, and much more.
