Choose Chennai to Kanchipuram drop taxi for the 75km Karthigai Deepam temple run. One way service to the four-temple circuit. Reserve your cab today!
Kanchipuram scores a perfect 10/10 in November, with the northeast monsoon easing to short evening squalls that leave mornings clean for temple touring. The four-temple circuit of Ekambareswarar, Kamakshi, Varadharaja, and Kailasanathar walks at full reach from 6 AM to noon and 4 PM to 9 PM between showers. Karthigai Deepam build-up programming begins late November, and the temple oil-lamp displays through the core start as the festival approaches. This week is the ideal window before the Tiruvannamalai crowds peak, and Kanchipuram’s silk workshops are running at full pre-wedding-season demand.
Early morning departures from Chennai give you the complete morning temple window before the evening showers arrive. Our drivers know the temple opening hours and the parking arrangements around each of the four sites, so you are not losing time circling the town centre. A one-way drop on this route starts around ₹1,800 for a sedan, covering fuel and driver with tolls billed separately. The 75 km drive via NH 48 takes roughly an hour and a half, making it the most accessible temple town from the city.
Beyond the four-temple circuit, Kanchipuram offers the Varadharaja Perumal Temple with its celebrated Athi Varadar idol, and the Kamakshi Amman Temple at the town’s heart. Selecting a one-way option gives you time to explore the silk circuit and temple circuit at your own pace without a return driver waiting. Our drivers can point you to the weaver-direct outlets at Pillaiyarpalayam, where the silk co-op demonstrations run through November. Booking ahead also helps if you want a vehicle that can handle the town’s narrow temple streets comfortably.
