    One of the most beautiful and spectacular nature in Chennai. Best time to visit is during dawn and dusk. Avoid rainy days and super hot days. You can come with children and elderly people too. The greenery is full of scenery πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ

    An amazing trail, I had a lovely time running along the trail. The trail is about 3km and cuts through OTA campus and ends near the airport compound wall. Thanks to all those who are involved in making the trail usable. Kudos.

    I’m really surprised to see many people wrote beautiful reviews about this river scenic walking trail where many people still not aware in our Chennai city. As everyone mentioned it’s a 3km straight stretch and 6kms to and fro, where one can walk jog or run at their convenience. I like morning jogging and short cycling in this beautiful stretch where you can have a pure air surrounded by trees throughout the stretches. The google location is perfect anyone can come to this location by the help of google maps.

    A good place to visit for Trail run, Bird Watching. Visit after 7 am is advised because the tree canopy both sides may hinder visibility. Incase you are planning a noon run inside the City , don't think twice. Just hit the place and run

    The trail runs along the entire length of the Adyar River. It's a great place to go for a run, but unfortunately, the pollution can make it a bit smelly sometimes. The track itself is generally well-maintained, though there are some sections with small stones that could be challenging to navigate without proper footwear. I would recommend wearing shoes rather than going barefoot. Early morning is the best time to run here, as there are plenty of people around but it's not too crowded. There is a small area to park your vehicle too.

    It's a calm dirt track for about 3 Kms one way. So it's a total of 6 Kms if you cover it fully. Since it's a dirt track, get ready to get your shoes dirty. It's away from all the buzz and rush of the city which is a big plus. As a bonus, it has some of the best views as well. There is River view, a bit of greenery, a military academy and the Airport view. You also get to view the landing and take off of the aircrafts. Overall if you are living near this area and are looking for a good jogging track, this one won't disappoint

  • 4/5 Dhamayanth R. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful place for walking, jogging, cycling.. the river, army camp and the airport is perfect scenes around. Visit early morning after 5.30 and before 6.. since it has no lights it will be very dark. At one point there is chemical waste has been mixing with water, only that place is irritating and the fumes are big high.. since the fumes area is almost end of the trail, you can have a great time till then.

    Such a beautiful place inside the city for trail run practise. It's neatly maintained and not overcrowded. Early mornings and evenings are great time to visit this place and enjoy the river and sunset/sunrise. Total stretch is 2.9 KM, you will see Military camp bridge crossing, Airport backside and grasslands at the end of the trail. You will spot lot of birds here during the migration season and might get chance to hear peacocks inside the military camp. Overall a great nature scenic place and must visit for all chennaites.

    Excellent trail for jogging. This Peaceful and calm trail runs alongside the Adyar river in Nandambakkam, Porur. Neat and safe with lots of runners and walking goers even as early as 5 am. You can detox your lungs once every weekend by walking here. Nicely maintained.

    Seems quite a few good work on trail is visible. Now new flowers and plants are live. Trail path is lot better and improved. Many signage to explain restoration work. Seems, now its moving from abandoned place to well preserved ones

    This is an amazing trail to walk, jog and run. A serene, secluded, green space is great for mood uplifting. The last few hundred meters offer a great view of the airport run way. They’ve guards at the entry and it seems safe! Chennai River Restoration Trust has stone postings about flora and fauna. And some paint markings on the compound wall indicate the distance. I wouldn’t paint a completely rosy picture like many others here, this is beside a river that unfortunately has a lot of sewage so expect some stink here and there. The stretch after 2 kms is uneven with big gravel. The bed is also full of plastic waste and can expect some garbage on the trail occasionally. It would be great if there’s periodic maintenance or cleanups organized by volunteers or administrators.

    Good trial for run/walk/jog. Covers 6 km distance for 1 loop.

  • 5/5 bala c. 9 months ago on Google
    This is one of best trails in chennai right on the banks of Adyar river. The army contonment, the airport view flight runway over a bridge adds beauty to the lush green trail. Though short still we hv noting better than this in chennai as if now. Wish the government promote by extending the trail and I stall toilet and water facilities as well

  • 4/5 Sivanand G P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very beautiful natural trail for early morning running, jogging or walking. Expect a sensible crowd if you plan to visit in the morning hours. Decently maintained would be better with some safety rails and some side trimming. πŸš΄β€β™€οΈ could get difficult if there is a decent crowd

  • 5/5 Hemnath A. 1 year ago on Google
    Scenic trail within Chennai city. 3 kms trail which is fully surrounded by trees and Adyar river. Don’t miss out both Sun set and sun rise from this place. Very close to DLF Cybercity and Nandambakkam trade centre.

    It's a good gravel road, both side we have tress, Morning season is good for walking, running and we can do cycling to here. We can have a good view of the river with a sunshine. Also fresh breeze we can feel. No foul smell only fresh air. One should always come here for run, walking and cycling too. No issue of traffic, foul smell. All I can say A good day start , A good place and a fit hours.

    It's a nice and beautiful trail for running along with scenario..... It's about 3 km long trail made of earth on the bank of Adyar river. Traffic is also not there, you can enjoy a peaceful morning walk too.
