This seven-hour private day trip runs from Chennai to the UNESCO-listed rock-cut monuments of Mahabalipuram: the Pancha Rathas, Arjuna's Penance, Krishna's Butterball and the 8th-century Shore Temple on the coast. It is run by a tourism-ministry-approved operator, with lunch, entrance fees and a private car included.
Local tip: Worth the full day if you have the time; Mahabalipuram does not work well as a rushed half-day add-on.
