Day 1

Chennai to Mahabalipuram.
Day trip to Mahabalipuram. The main attraction in Mahabalipuram is the shore temple of lord Vishnu and the Pandav rathas. Nearby places include Mahishasur Mardini caves which require a little trek to see the rock cut monolithic temples. The trek ends at Arjuna's penance where one can see a naturally self balanced rock. The Mahabalipuram beach is also a good one for those who love sun, sand and their sea food fresh.
        Just enjoy the photographs of the world heritage site and around. No better way to tell the experience.
