Just visited St.Thomas Mount and must say that it's few of the places still available in the heart of the city where you can get some quite, serene and meaningful moments. If you are the one who got bored of city life and has few hours to spare, then this a place for you.

Its a beautiful church you can spot a chennai airports runway

It's a beautiful church on the mount inside the city and one of the oldest church in chennai. Always love to go there and worship as you could get some positive vibes once you enter the church. Also it's famous because of history and beautiful views from the Mount... you could see the greatest chennai buildings, metro trains, Airports etc.., A quick ride in the hill side and you will be refreshed with positivity. Must go to place in chennai.

St. Thomas mount shrine is very Devine and calm place. You can come here anytime sit here and pray. This place is very peaceful and calm. the view from mount will be breath taking..!! from one side you can see the metro rail and from the other side you can see airport which will be cool to watch. Sunset will be beautiful to watch here. The color from sunset will be spread all over the sky and it will be a bliss to watch sunset. There are two ways you could reach to the top: 1. by road, you can take your vehicle till parking space. 2. By Steps, you need to claim up by staircase to reach the mount shrine. Other than shrine you can see one shop which see snacks, ice creams and beverages. there is one book stall near the shrine where you can get holy bible and other spiritual stuffs from there. There is paid parking for vehicles. Restrooms are available for male and female (Separately).

A holy place and a witness in itself for one of the Jesus followers St Thomas was present here and is said to be killed near by. This is a good place to get some internal peace. A good exercise to climb though the steps and a peaceful environment. The view is spectacular in all the directions. Good to see the airport and spend time by seeing the flight take off and great to see them land. This place apart from his historical significance now a days to to have service in all the major language of the world and tends to attract a large number of tourist.

The most sacred place for Christians. This place is closely related to St Thomas the Apostle, one of the disciples of Jesus. This place is so serene and refreshing. Since it is close to sea, we get always fresh breeze from the eastern side. In the Western side we could see the Airport. We will be energised anf feel to be there fo ever. There is a church and stations for the way of the Cross. We could see Mylapur Cross there and the relics of St Thomas. Pious articles are sold on the top of the mount. It's so beautiful place for me for worship and prayers. People used to sit under the huge Banion Tree to meditate.

One of the most beautiful place to visit in Chennai. The peaceful atmosphere makes this place more beautiful. You can see the whole view of the city. You feel internal peace.

one the best spot to explore the top view of the Chennai city Clean and Neat maintenance shrine

1. Stunning views of Chennai from hilltop 2. Rich historical and religious significance 3. Impressive architecture of the shrine 4. Peaceful and serene atmosphere 5. Well-maintained premises 6. Convenient location in Ramapuram, Tamil Nadu

If anyone want to visit flight landing and take off on live mode, kindly reach st Thomas mount. It's one of the side scene places in Chennai. We can spend our time good time in this church and we can able to see the whole Chennai city from this mountain.

Serenity is overwhelming. On a clear day the sea and port is visible from here. Sunset is a lovely time to visit the Church. Parking available.

The Hill on which Jesus Disciple Thomas was killed The iconic location for Christian's near Chennai Airport A place of great importance, given that one of Jesus 12 disciples came to spread the Gospel There is a chapel with a prayer room. The chapel contains relics of all 12 disciples and of all the saints The Hill overlooks the city with a marvelous view of the Chennai airport. We can view the runway clearly, which is an attraction for flight enthusiasts. The St.Thomas mount also houses the Indian army centre, with the army training ceter and army school.

Apostle Thomas, Disciple of Jesus Christ was Martyred here. This place has historical significance and is patronized around the world. Great place to relax, meditate and unwind. The scenic top view of the city is worth the trip!

Very peaceful and clean. Nice spot for a calm weekend with family. Please do take your camera. Could see the beauty of well illuminated airport runway. And don't forget to make a wish in the church.

St. Thomas Mount National Shrine is located at St.Thomas mount, nearby Guindy Kathipara flyover. The altar of this shrine was built on the spot where St. Thomas' death traditionally believed to have been occurred. Apart from Shrine, many people come and visit this place for seeing the beautiful sight of the city and one can view the airport also, the aeroplanes taking off and landing down. Many people spend their weekend with their family here. It's a cool and pleasant place. There is a huge parking for two wheeler and four wheeler. Definitely a good place to visit.

The place where sun shines bright and beautiful. The city view point for Chennai. The morning wind gushing through and the peace all around. Aeroplane flying so close over head. And the sun rising over slowly. Do you need a better morning? The view just captures you. The sunrise is pacifying. Go when it's dark and the light will shine upon you.

Unbelievable view from the top u could see the whole city and weather is so cool during mansoon and winter season in chennai it's the cutest spot for relax and u can see Airport Runway from the top

Was a really amazing place really was super beautiful to see the church to see the whole city it is the top most point in Chennai where you get beautiful views of the city The church was very historical this place is said to be the place where saint Thomas was killed or murdered this was his hide away This church is made completely on him, they say that there is the real cross the Thomas made which bleed. This Church is very old , the church here still gathers here for masses I would definitely recommend this place should be seen it is so wonderful and a blessing to see about saint Thomas

Great place to visit again. The airport runway view is one of the best you can get. The view of the city is also great. There needs to be more shade for people on the grounds during summer. It is quite hot otherwise. One of the best things is that you have a photographer who gives good instant pictures.

The historic spot where St. Thomas was martyred, this church is in the hilltop. · The airport is near, and you can view the flights that fly and Landing from here. · Can see the Chennai city landscape from this spot · · You can spend time with your family · If you are coming for a tour to Chennai, then must visit even if you are a Christian or not. · The rush of normal days won't be that much. · There will be have the entrance fee it different for bike and car. · Overall the place was amazing. Selection of place and where to go is our personal, but you can take a look here.

Holy place,, every one have to visit this place once......

Wonderful..Loved it♥️

St. Thomas mount shrine. Place where it is believed that st Thomas who came to India was killed on this very place . It is situated on a hill , near OTA Chennai, The place is very peaceful and divine. People visit in Great numbers , believed to very powerful and prayers are often fulfilled . One must visit and ask the blessings from st. Thomas . During the feast day one can encounter a huge crowd , recommended to visit in normal days .

A peaceful place with quite a good view.. gives you a short trekking experience while climbing the hill with steps.. reaching the top you get the view of airplanes parked like cars (if u are lucky you can see them land &take off).. on the other side you see the busy chennai roads with metro trains passing by with few tall buildings and sea line at a very distant view.. pleasant way to attain a spiritual and peaceful outing❤️

It is a place with lots of happiness and It's in high leveled area (mountain) with lots of trees, herbs ,shrubs,etc............. It's behind the OTA and in morning there will be lot of fog behind the mountain. It's a Place where we can easily see the airport. Jesus Christ is always with you....let's Praise the lord..........st.Thomas national shrine.

A beautiful place to visit, a holy place near airport, there are two ways to get there one is by using ladders(steps) and another one is by bike and autos, we can see the whole view of chennai airport and nearby areas from the top mountain and is amazing. Coffee and tea stall is there, area is very clean, plants are well maintained.

The travel to St.Thomas mount shrine came as a surprise to me. Its near Guindy and behind the army quarters. Since the army is there, the roads get cleaner as you travel. The directions are clearly placed and you cannot miss it. The road to the top of the shrine involves two or three bends and is very neatly maintained. You will have to park your vehicle and walk up a little distance to reach the Temple. The parking fees (or donation as the ticket printout mentions) is Rs.10 for Two wheelers and Rs.50 for cars. The Temple itself is very well maintained. There were lot of sight-seeing visitors like me who went straight to check out the awesome views. I heard from my friend that this temple gets crowded on Sundays and recommended to stay away if you are just going there to check out the views. Overall a "Hidden" gem in Chennai and you definitely need to visit here if you havent already.

The best place to spend in Chennai, this place St.Thomas Mount is where you can see the whole city. On the other side of the mountain you can see planes taking off.

St Thomas Mount Church is a significant religious sight that looms majestically on St. Thomas Mount. More popular as Perai Malai which means Big Mount in Tamil St. Thomas Mount is often visited by people of different religious faiths including Hindu, Muslim and Christians. The famed Church is reached by pilgrims climbing around 134 steps made of granite. Devotees often vow to do so as an act of penance and scarification. Above the shrine there are plenty of rocks and a banyan tree where travellers climb up to enjoy the entire view of the bustling city.

Peaceful place in heart of the city with best views and blessings

A Catholic spiritual place in Chennai. Cool breeze, positive vibes, good views from the top of the hill really takes our minds to different level. We can c the sea and airport from the top of the hill. Nice to have a visit. There are certain rules and regulations by the church. We have to pay toll if u bring a vehicle. Parking charge is there to park the vehicle. It is a safe place

You can enjoy the bird view of centre Chennai. And also enjoy the beautiful flight take off and landings from a different angle. It's a 300 years old place so you can feel through history there.

It was quite amazing for me.. I didn't expected it to be that good.. Church was peaceful...The View was amazing and perfectly constructed status over there...What Could I ask more on Sunday...☺️ It is very nearer to Guindy..so it is quite good beneficiary for people living nearby..This church even provide education..By having school in the same name...I enjoyed a lot..and perfect place to view all over Guindy...We Can see airport too..which is a runway over there... quite enjoyed a lot...☺️??

A very quiet place in Chennai, to get a peaceful environment and mind relaxing moment it is very good to visit. No horns and no sound. A cool breeze and no sweats. We visited at dusk and it is beautiful to see the place.

St. Thomas Mount (known in Modern Tamil as Parangimalai) is a small hillock in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India, near the neighbourhood of Guindy and very close to Chennai International Airport. The ancient Syrian Christian community of India trace the origin of their church to St. Thomas the Apostle. From the 17th century, this part of Chennai was populated predominantly by Anglo-Indians. The St. Thomas Garrison Church is at the foot of St Thomas Mount. The St. Thomas Syro Malabar Catholic Church is located east of the shrine at North Silver Street, footholds of the mountain shrine. The neighbourhood is served by the St. Thomas Mount railway station, on the southern line of the Chennai Suburban Railway Network. Integration of the Metro and MRTS with the suburban station in the neighbourhood, is expected to make the suburb the city's largest transit hub after Chennai Central.

I don't believe in God! But watching the city from such a vantage point gives you a different level of peace. I should say that the place is well maintained.. Try visiting once and I'm sure you'll be back again someother time.

It's a the most popular church in Chennai which is eventually placed on top of the hill. A quiet religious place From the top of this hill you can see whole of Chennai , it's suitable for photo shoots and bird watching just go there and mind your own god damn business and every thing will go fine One thing to remember it's a safe place to carry a DSLR and children and the parking is free , if you take a DSLR camera to take photos there will be a guy who charges for that like he owns the property . He just charges 10-20 ruppee. Just be aware of that !

Devine place. You can spend and hour in this place with all the view that the place can get. Right beside airport in Chennai. the Parking for two and four wheeler wheeler is available. Best time in evening for the sunset to be seen

It's one of the best places if you want to spend your evening. On one side it has a nice view of the city from top of the mountain, with the high rising buildings that include the IT Parks, hotels, metro stations etc and the busy traffic moving on the road. And on other side you can enjoy the landscape of the airport, with those flashing colorful lights on the runway and flights taking off and landing gives you an awesome experience.

Peaceful place located at the heart of the Chennai city! But you need to own a private vehicle or have to book cabs to reach the destination. Worth spending the time here as you can watch the city from an eagle view! Chennai airport runway is highly visible from this location.!!

A very calm, soothing and relaxing place situated at the top of the hill. A must visit place for all Chennai tourist.

No food there, but a nice view of city and can see flights landing and taking of. Need to go in day to see that beautiful view, but in night it is full of lights. Parking charge for bike is 10, for car it might be more. Road to go to hill is nice, but road below hill is not much nice. Overall a nice place to spend

If you are on the lookout for exploring chennai's heritage sites, you cannot miss this place. The shrine and the back story is very poetic! If you visit here, also try to visit the

Spiritual place where you can relax with family on hill top overlooking the airport. Car and 2 wheeler parking available, once you park you will need to walk for a minute or so to reach hill top and church. If any disabled or senior citizens who can't walk, security will allow you to drop them and come back and park. Evening breeze is relaxing, must visit for short relaxing and spiritual experience. One end you can see alandur railway metro station and other end airport.

You can find peace there. Can go there in the morning to have a good view of the sunrise. must visit if you are in chennai good view.

Holy place and hill station in the heart of the city.very calm attract tourist.
