    If you’re okay with a quick ride, an auto from the airport can drop you near the Five Rathas in about 30 minutes.
    The Mahabalipuram bus stand is only 2.5 km away, so a local bus or auto will get you there in about 10 12 minutes.
    Chengalpattu station is farther roughly 12 km and the last train from Chennai heads out around 18:30, so a taxi is safest after 16:00.
