Mahabalipuram
The last stop of our Indian trip was Mahabalipuram , also known as Mamallapuram. This town is a great destination with its colourful fisherman's village, its miles long beach and its amazing UNESCO World heritage site. We stayed in a pretty inexpensive hostel in the heart of the fisherman's village in a simple but comfy double room with a balcony and a sea view. Perfect to relax watching locals playing cards on the beach or read a book with the sound of the waves in the background. View from the beach onto the Shore Temple The beach at our hostel door Closer view of Shore Temple Other than for its beautiful beach, Mahabalipuram is known for its wonderful UNESCO world heritage site. This site is a collection of Hindu monuments dated from the 7th and the 8th century. Many temples carved in an extremely detailed manner are part of this collection, the most iconic being the Shore temple built directly on the beach. We didn't manage...
