Mamallapuram (Mahabalipuram) India

Mamallapuram, located 50km south of Chennai, was the primary seaport of the ancient Pallava kingdom, which was based in Kanchipuram. A stroll around the town's impressive, World Heritage-listed temples and carvings stirs the imagination, particularly at sunset. In addition to its historical archaeological marvels, the town offers the salty air and scenic beauty of the coast. There's also the traveler hub of Othavadai and Othavadai Cross Streets, where you can find restaurants serving pasta, pizza, and pancakes, and shops selling Tibetan trinkets. The town's vibrant and expanding surf scene is another draw. Most people refer to the town as 'Mahabs', and it's less than two hours by bus from Chennai, making it a popular destination for many travelers. It's a small, relaxed town where sights can be explored on foot or by bicycle.
