Chennai Airport (MAA) to Walajabad Taxi Service
Landing at Chennai International Airport (MAA)? HJ Cabs runs the 54 km transfer to Walajabad every day, with air-conditioned Sedans, SUVs, and Innova Crystas driven by licensed, verified drivers. Covers this agricultural town near Kanchipuram.
Walajabad is a small heritage town in Kanchipuram district, Tamil Nadu, lying around 20 km south of Kanchipuram and 20 km north of Chengalpattu, on the plains between the two towns. It was renamed from its earlier name, Sivapuram, in honour of Muhammad Ali Khan Wallajah, the Nawab of Arcot, who built the Walajabad Fort here in the 18th century during the turbulent Carnatic Wars era, when Arcot's Nawabs and European trading powers contested control of the region. The fort remains the town's defining landmark and a marker of this 18th-century Nawabi history, distinct from the older Pallava and Chola temple heritage found elsewhere in Kanchipuram district. Walajabad today remains a quiet panchayat centre amid the agricultural land between Kanchipuram and Chengalpattu, with paddy and other irrigated crops forming the backbone of the local economy.
