Temple Tour to Mahabalipuram and Kanchipuram (100 Kms) - Private Tour

Kanchipuram, southwest of Chennai, was capital of the Pallava dynasty during the 6th to 8th centuries, when the Pallavas created the great stone monuments of Mamallapuram. Today a typically hectic modern Indian town, it's famous for its numerous important and vibrant temples (and their colourful festivals), some dating from Pallava, Chola or Vijayanagar times.

Mamallapuram, south of Chennai, was the major seaport of the ancient Pallava kingdom based at Kanchipuram. A wander around the town’s magnificent, World Heritage–listed temples and carvings inflames the imagination, especially at sunset.

Tour starts in the early morning. Visit to Kanchipuram Temples first (Kamatchi Amman temple and Ekambareswarar temple) and then proceed to Mahabalipuram to visit Five Rathas, Shore Temple, Butter Ball and Arjuna Penance.
