What you can expect

Experience Mahabalipuram’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites (near Chennai) which are known for their picturesque beauty, carved temples, and rock-cut caves on this full-day tour that starts with hotel pickup in Puducherry. Dive into local heritage and culture on this guided day trip to Chennai's most famous gateway.

Explore Mahabalipuram, a well established sea port during the 7th to 10th centuries while the Pallava dynasty was in power. See the Shore Temple which dates back to the 8th century. This two-temple structure stands facing the sea.

View the Panch Rathas, which means five chariots. These are magnificent stone structures, each carved out of a single huge boulder and each structure dedicated to one of the five Pandava brothers (significant characters from the Indian epic Mahabharata).

Head to Krishna's Butterball, a huge boulder on an incline which gives on-lookers the impression that it may roll on them at any moment. Make your way to the cave temples like, Tiger Cave, Atyantakama, and the Ramanuja Cave Temples.

Discover Asia's largest Seashell Museum which has more than 20,000 kinds of shells, conches, corals and fossils on display. Finally, see Mahabalipuram Beach and its charming light house before returning to Puducherry.
