Adyar Banyan Tree

Visiting hours 2 to 4 in the afternoon and I chose this time a Saturday.

Very nice place for family to spend. Pleasent experience. Two hours walk with trees, insects, birds, flowers.

Should go with cap or umbrella as some areas are not covered with trees.

Nice place to visit in Chennai. I was literally surprised to see the rich variety of flora in the premises. Ambiance is so good.

It was nice place with covers by nature.
Good place to spend time with family,friends and loved one.

Beautiful piecefull environment, preserving colonial Madras. In the middle of a billion populated country and buzzing city!

Awesome place in Chennai everyone should visit this place...happy to visited.

Gateway to eternity!
Must visit place in Chennai..
Nature at its best! Well maintained..

The Adyar Banyan tree inside the Theosophical society Chennai TN, is one of those places where we humans can experience the feeling of anonymity in Nature. How small our true role is in the magnitude of nature. I just stood there quietly hugging and feeling sisterhood for this wise old tree...Everytime it is the same feeling...Words are in adequate...Be Kind Be Gentle to one and all in this world. Despite there being no reason to do so...

It was a wonderful place to disconnect ourselves from the crowded city. But, unfortunately it is permenantly closed.

I went there several times with my girlfriend but that was three years back and the trees and butterflies made my visits really memorable. Sorry for those who's unable to visit now.

The nearly 400-year-old mother tree died a long time ago, and the tree has been surviving on its many branch roots ever since. No longer are visitors permitted; the site has been permanently closed.

A calm and peaceful place amidst the chaos of city life

So peaceful place. Various species , animals and birds you can see. Good place to spend with your family. Not sure whether children are allowed. Various trees you can see there herbal , fruits tree and the special banyan tree. Actually per day only 25 people allows inside the theosophical park. Entry Timing morning at 8.30 to 10 evening 4.30 to 6 . You can find more scientific related things in the park.

It's very Interesting place to visit especially who loves Nature

This place is so cool and calm. You can enjoy such a huge moments over there. You can see different types of trees and all the trees are maintained very neatly. Especially the banyan tree part, The main tree has been lost before 1990 and from that time to till now.

It's the second largest tree in the world... Peaceful atmosphere.. gives a feeling of a different world..
It is now CLOSED for Public on SATURDAYS and SUNDAYS throughout the year.. This is a new rule ... So it's open only from Monday to Friday - 8.30 am to 10.30 am and 2 pm to 4 pm.

One of the Beautiful place in chennai

calm and serene, perfect for a walk. check the visitor timings before coming.

Beautiful place , green and serene. I just wish the visitors would stop stomping in the grass and desecrating the trees. It's an ancient entity , not your swing that you can use to showoff for your lover.

The place was so good. One of the underrated places in chennai. Most people don't know that there is a small forest in chennai.nice place to take your kids. It will take 2 hours to just tour the place. The actual banyan tree is dead now ,only the roots are living right now. You may get lost beacuse there are no sign boards for moving in and around , the staff there will lead you to move out.unmarried couples are not allowed.no entry fee. You can breath fresh air here.

Its a wonderful place. People who love to get some spiritual practical knowledge should definitely go here. For visitors, im sure you ll love have a walk. The roads are coverd wish trees n if you are lucky you can come across peocock.

It's a temple of nature. No crowd, no noise, one with nature and absolute bliss. A heaven for morning walkers who enjoy solitude and oneness with nature. A five kilometer stretch of greenery and history in the centre of city. I am privileged to be there in the mornings.
