This day tour aims to get you up close and personal with the pulse of South India. We will explore Mahabalipuram, an UNESCO World Heritage site, an area 'considered to be of 'outstanding value to humanity. ' Mahabalipuram was an important ancient port which was well known to the ancient Romans and Greeks. Mahabalipuram is today renowned the world over for its exquisite 6th century rock cut temples and intricate statues of stone. On the way, we visit a very interesting"living museum" of South India, Dakshin Chitra to enable an understanding of South Indian way of life through the centuries. This day tour with me has been described by many, many discerning travellers and historians as one of the most fascinating day tours in India, if not in the entire world! I bring the area to life - instead of rambling on about mundane details -I associate the ancient past with the present and leave you with many interesting stories that you can relate with - an experience of a lifetime indeed!
- We will depart Chennai after breakfast and drive down the scenic East Coast Road. - The first stop in Dakshin Chitra, a very interesting "museum" that showcases traditional South Indian houses and arts - they have actually carefully relocated brick by brick many old and traditional houses from across South India - a fantastic visit. - We then arrive at Mahabalipuram where we spend time exploring ancient rock cut temples and exquisite sculptures. We will delve into the history of the Pallavas, an ancient dynasty that once ruled an extensive part of India and beyond. - In between, we have lunch at one of the tastiest and safest sea food restaurants in the whole of South India. - Return to hotel in Chennai by 5-7 pm.
