Mamallapuram is a sleepy town on the Bay of Bengal, about 65km south of Chennai in Tamil Nadu State. It has a sleepy atmosphere and is a traveller friendly town with lots of accomodation options and restaurants. Shopping oportunities also abound. The town is firmly on the travel path for those touring Souhern India and although affected by the 2004 Tsunami, the recovery here has been much quicker than some other parts of this coast.

The town has lots of sights to see including Krishnas' Butter Ball, a rock seemingly balance precariously on a rockface, lots of temples carved intricately into solid rock. The town still has an abundance of stone masons and finely detailed stone carvings are asolid souvenir takeaway.

Sweet, sweet relief from Chennai!  Mamallapuram is tourist haunt about 2 hours south of Chennai.  Only 2 hours but what a world of a difference.  Chennai is a big city with tons of people and loud, crazy traffic.  Mamallapuram is a slow-paced beach town full of friendly people looking to chat all afternoon over some chai.    Mamallapuram’s claim to fame is its long history of superb stone carving that is very much alive today.  According to Lonely Plane...

A day off and I found myself in George's car driving southwards along the East Coast Road. An area that was hit by the tsunami but according to George wasn't too severely damaged because there weren't many houses build along the shore. I had gotten up early at 5 o'clock and as I had feared there was no way to get breakfast before 6 o' clock.
