We had been thinking of visiting Mamallapuram for a very long time and finally it worked out last month. (Oct 2019).
Mamallapuram, also known as Mahabalipuram, is an old town along the Coramandal coast of Bay of Bengal and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located in Chengalpattu district of Tamil Nadu. Mamallapuram and is famous for the stone-cut work of a group of monuments, made by the Pallava kings who ruled this place between 5thand 8th centuries.
After checking in to the hotel, we had our lunch and immediately after that we hired an autorikshaw for the afternoon to take us around all the important tourist places there. Actually most of them were in walkable distance only. Since we had only half-a-day there, we preferred to save time. The autorikshaw driver was friendly and knowledgable person. His details are given below.
When I told him I will be giving his photo and mobile number in my travelogue he was mighty thrilled.
I can't write the full Beauty of the place in words. One should see the place to know its real beauty. For the time being you can see the video of our trip here -
