How to reach Indonesia from Chennai

By Air: Chennai to Indonesia distance by air is the least among all the major metropolises of India, and thus the flight fares are considerably lesser than other cities. Chennai to Indonesia flight route takes a little more than 8 hours to travel the distance by a direct flight. Back when flights were very expensive and thus limited to the privileged, people used to go from Chennai to Indonesia by ship. The distance of 2016 nautical miles takes 8.5 days to cover, given good weather conditions.

By Rail: Going from Chennai to Indonesia via rail is quite impossible. People from other cities like Delhi or Mumbai come to Chennai via rail, to travel at cheaper Chennai to Indonesia flight ticket rate. But Chennai is right at the shore of the Arabian Sea and Indonesia is also an island with no rail connectivity.

By Road: There is only one road which goes from Chennai to Indonesia, and that route goes through three countries – Myanmar, Thailand, and Malaysia. Then again one has to take a ferry from Singapore.
