🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Kanchipuram Bus Stand or Railway Station → Fairfield by Marriott Sriperumbudur
💡 Negotiate the fare before getting in. The hotel is just off the Chennai-Bangalore Highway (NH48) – you’ll pass it on the right if heading towards Chennai. Show a screenshot of the hotel name in Tamil if the driver doesn’t read English.
Sriperumbudur Bus Stand → Kanchipuram New Bus Stand
💡 Buses run along NH48 – flag one down from the highway junction near the hotel. Board buses marked 'Kanchipuram' (not 'Chennai'). The ride is bumpy but reliable. Keep small change; conductors rarely have change for notes above ₹100.
Chennai Central (Mas) or Chengalpattu Junction → Kanchipuram Railway Station
💡 This works only if you’re coming from Chennai city. From the hotel, take an auto to Chengalpattu station (₹300, 25 mins) then board the Kanchipuram passenger. Trains are old and slow – great for views but not for luggage. Best used for a day trip, not a transfer with bags.
Chennai International Airport (MAA) → Fairfield by Marriott Sriperumbudur
💡 Book through the app before you clear customs to save 10-15 mins. Avoid cash: prepay via card for faster pickup. The hotel has a dedicated drop-off lane.
