Early this week, I headed to Therukupattu hoping to catch a glimpse of lesser flamingos in what is curiously-named the Great Salt Lake (GSL). It was a morning visit, provoked by an earlier trip to the locality, only the previous weekend. As expected, on a Monday morning visit, I am treated to patches of pink-and-white. Access from OMRThis section of the salt lake can also be viewed from Old Mahabalipuram Road, at Komannagar and Kalavakkam. Looking beyond the tracts close to GSL, Therukupattu is capable of drawing anyone who loves to range over open spaces.
