Irresistible scenic golden beaches, azure waters and majestic historical attractions make Mahabalipuram a destination that you can never forget. A charming coastal town known for its many stone carved heritage sites, Mahabalipuram also known as Mammallapuram, houses a street dotted with cafes, that serve multiple western cuisines. It leads to a breathtaking oceanfront.
