TNSTC operates daily bus services from Vellore to Kalpakkam, the bus service is operated with Non AC class of service and AC class of services.
Kalpakkam is a small but significant town located on the Coromandel Coast of Tamil Nadu, about 70 kilometers south of Chennai. It is best known for housing India’s prestigious nuclear research facilities, including the Madras Atomic Power Station (MAPS), Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research (IGCAR), and the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) units. These institutions have made Kalpakkam an important hub for nuclear science and energy production in India. Despite its scientific significance, Kalpakkam has retained a peaceful and quiet atmosphere, largely due to its well-planned township and controlled access because of the sensitive nature of its establishments. The township is neat, green, and self-sufficient, with schools, parks, temples, hospitals, and markets catering to the residents, most of whom are employees of the nuclear facilities and their families.
The beach at Kalpakkam is serene and relatively untouched by tourism, offering a beautiful view of the Bay of Bengal and providing a peaceful retreat for locals. However, the town also witnessed the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which caused significant damage and loss of life, and since then, various safety and precautionary measures have been implemented along the coast. The community in Kalpakkam is close-knit, with a blend of people from various parts of the country due to the nature of central government employment.
Cultural events, festivals, and science exhibitions are common within the township, encouraging a mix of tradition and modern knowledge. The presence of advanced research centers in such a quiet coastal town gives Kalpakkam a unique identity—where science meets simplicity. It continues to be a place of national importance while remaining calm and largely under the radar, making it a fascinating blend of technology, tradition, and tranquility.
