On National Highway 47, drive past Chennai International Airport towards Tambaram. Cross Pallavaram Bus Stand and proceed upto Pond's Factory (a factory making talcum powder) on your left. Immediately take a right turn towards Thiruneermalai. From here, keep following the 'Vipassana Meditation Centre' roadsigns for the next 6.5 kilometres and you will reach the Centre which is located quite close to the SIDCO Leather Complex. Top

Reaching by Local Train

From Central Railway station, go to Park railway station which is across the road. Board a Tambaram-bound train and get down at Pallavaram Railway Station. Exiting the Railway Station, go to Pallavaram Bus Stand and take the bus ride as detailed below. Top

Reaching By Bus

The Centre is a 5-minute walk from here. Some bus conductors may be kind enough to drop you closer to the Centre. (Some locals refer to the Centre as 'Buddhar Kovil'). Top
