Semmozhi Poonga - Perfect Half-Day Escape in Central Chennai
For those looking to enjoy a refreshing half-day trip without leaving the city, Semmozhi Poonga in Teynampet stands out as the best choice.
Spread across lush greenery and home to more than 500 plant species, this botanical garden offers a peaceful retreat from Chennai’s busy streets. Visitors can take leisurely walks, enjoy picnic spots, and soak in the serene ambiance all within just a few hours.
While other options like the Chennai Snake Park and Panagal Park also provide quick city getaways, Semmozhi Poonga remains the most attractive destination thanks to its rich flora and well-maintained surroundings.
For those willing to stretch their half-day to 4–6 hours, eco-parks such as Adyar Eco Park and Chetpet Eco Park can also make for pleasant outings.
