Mahabalipuram Experience: Mahabalipuram as we all know is a historic city with relics almost everywhere providing the glimpses of their magnanimous exquisiteness really attracted me. I was engrossed looking at the sculpture and the proficiency of the artists. This was a mindboggling experience and really refreshed my memories of Ajanta & Ellora many years back.
The sea beach on the other side provides me the perfect blend of simultaneous existence of sea and hill within a vicinity of few hundred meters. This reminisce me the tour at Granda in Spain where I had driven a vehicle from the beach of Mediterranean sea to hills of Sierra Nevada.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Blue Elephant, Moonraker and Village Inn were most sought after restaurants near the sea beach. The sea beach along the coast of Bay of Bengal is the best attraction. Shopping experience will mention the most value for money items from the Kashmir sellers and bought starting from variegated clothing to small stone idols.
Activities & things to do: Enjoying the beach.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Simply drive down to Mahabalipuram from Chennai along the ECR.
