At Alandur, change to the Green Line towards the direction of St. Thomas Mount and travel to the Vadapalani station. Upon exiting the Vadapalani station, take a left and walk towards the intersection of Arcot Road. South India is located approximately 1 km away from the metro station, so you may take a local auto-rickshaw or walk.

South India is located about 500 meters from the bus stop, and you can ask locals for further directions if needed.

Auto-rickshaw

Simply tell the driver 'South India, Vadapalani' or show them the address: 37MC+37G, Vadapalani, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600003. The drivers are usually familiar with the area and can take you directly to your destination. Ensure you agree on the fare before starting your journey.
