Not quite a turtle sanctuary! - Mamallapuram

In this page, I will start with introduction of the place/cave/temple and will follow with few tips based on my own impressions for that specific location. All my India pages will be having the same format; therefore you should browse the page using Author's order for best result.

Envying Enfield

What drive Enfield?

In this page, I will talk a little bit more than temples or beaches. I will cover few more things that I believe have not been covered by anyone else in VT when they visited Mamallapuram.

Well, may be I am more weird than most travelers.

The extra topic that i am going to cover here is John Boetes & his Universal Peace Park

I have moved the Royal Enfield Story to State of Tamil Nadu because it's the product of Chennai, Tamil Nadu.
