Kanchipuram is famous for its ancient temples, sacred significance, and world-renowned Kanchipuram silk sarees. It is one of South India’s important pilgrimage towns and is admired for its rich history, spiritual heritage, and traditional craftsmanship.

The must-visit places in Kanchipuram include Kamakshi Amman Temple, Ekambareswarar Temple, Varadaraja Perumal Temple, and the traditional silk weaving areas. These sites showcase the town’s spiritual importance, ancient architecture, and cultural heritage.

The must-visit places in Mahabalipuram include the Shore Temple, Pancha Rathas, Arjuna’s Penance, Krishna’s Butterball, and the rock-cut cave temples. These UNESCO World Heritage monuments highlight Mahabalipuram’s ancient art, architecture, and coastal heritage.

Mahabalipuram was an important port city of the Pallava dynasty during the 7th and 8th centuries. The Pallava kings built remarkable rock-cut temples, monolithic shrines, cave temples, and stone carvings that showcase early Dravidian architecture and artistic excellence. These well-preserved monuments reflect the creativity and engineering skills of ancient India, which is why Mahabalipuram has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The best time to visit Kanchipuram and Mahabalipuram is from October to March, when the weather is pleasant and comfortable for sightseeing. During these months, temperatures are moderate, making it ideal to explore temples, monuments, and coastal areas. Summers can be hot, and the monsoon season may bring heavy rains, so winter months are the most preferred for a relaxed visit.

We had to alter our plans and extended the tour for 2 more days. From second day we started our sightseeing of Delhi, next day visited Agra, then Fatehpur Sikri and then Jaipur.
