Day 1:
On arrival at Chennai our airport representative will receive
and transfer to the hotel. Overnight stay at the hotel.
Day 2:
After breakfast, proceed for a half-day sightseeing Chennai
city.There's nothing much to see from a traditional tourists's
point of view. Most of the colonial buildings are usually in use
as administrative offices and the
traditional Tamil boroughs of Mylapore and Triplicane, though interesting are
densely populated and aren't very welcoming to gawking though one should
brave it at least through Mylapore. Chennai is more of a commercial city with
various industries, banks, offices, port, & a thriving movie industry. The most
popular forms of entertainment are a visit to the cinemas at the weekend or
some time at the sandy beaches. Restaurants, watering holes and
discotheques have been opening with increasing frequency and while the
absolute numbers aren't much, they're more experimental than most Indian
metros with the exception of maybe Mumbai and Bangalore. While in
Chennai one can drop into one of the following places. Visit attractions like
Gandhi Memorial, Kalakshetra, Mylapore temple and Marine beach.
Overnight stay at hotel.
Day 3:

Morning after breakfast drive by surface to Mahabalipuram
enroute visiting Kanchipuram. Visit ancient capital of the
Pallavas famous as a city of 1000 Temples and still has 124

monolithic, and constitute the early stages of Dravidian architecture wherein
Buddhist elements of design are prominently visible. They are constituted by
cave temples, monolithic rathas (chariots), sculpted reliefs and structural
temples. The pillars are of the Dravidian order. The sculptures are excellent
