Puducherry to Mahabalipuram Shore Temple Private Tour

Amazing sculptures

We had come to Pondicherry on a conference and had an extra day. We had heard a lot about the world heritage site of Mahabalipuram. As 5 senses tours was offering a day trip to Mahabalipuram from Pondicherry!, we signed up. It was a great experience as Ramesh brought the ancient rock cut caves alive for us. The sculptures were some of the world's very best. Very highly recommended
