Overview of your Chennai tour:

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!
