Pallikaranai
Pallikaranai is best known for the Pallikaranai Marshland, one of the last surviving freshwater wetlands in southern India and a designated reserve forest. The locality sits between Velachery and Sholinganallur, making it a convenient residential choice for IT professionals working along the OMR corridor. Despite rapid urbanisation, conservation efforts continue to protect the marshland's rich biodiversity of migratory birds and native species.
