Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram - 23rd-25th Aug, 2014

Vehicle: Innova
Total Distance: 807kms
People: 3 families (Me, Pallavi, Achintya), (Shreedharanna, Bhagya, Aadya), (Manu, Shreenidhi)





NOTE:
1. NH66 (road from Krishnagiri to Gingee) is totally screwed up. There are boards everywhere about 'Work in progress', but no sign of any work, materials, construction vehicles or workers anywhere.

2. Be warned about visiting Pondicherry on Sunday, lot of places may be closed for the afternoon, so you would be left with no activities (if not planned in advance).

3.  Don't take the Horse ride (in Mahabalipuram especially) if you are alone or just 2 people. Especially, if you don't know Tamil. It may turn out to be disaster than that of pleasure ride on the beach. Better to make a deal in group.
