Mamallapuram Hotels - Reviews and Rates

People say that you can not merely 'see' India but are forced to experience it to a greater or lesser extent. This sore fact is now quite apparent to us and I hope to be able to give some impression of the confusing emotions that have been aroused.

The primary and most obvious facet of Indian life that is unavoidably obvious even to the m...

Tan bon punt arribo a Chennai, decideixo agafar un autobus cap a Mamallapuram i comencar la meva inmersio en terres tamil en un poblet de platja mes assimilable que la caotica ciutat de Chennai (a la India sembla com si les ciutats se't mengessin). El trajecte de 36 hores en tren ha estat bastant monoton i aborrit pero m'ha servit per descansar ...

For some reason, since we arrived in Mammallapuram, I have been plagued by sleepless nights and have consequently slept in most of the day. It's a real pain but there is a silver lining to this cloud. A few mornings ago it reached 4.30am by which time frustration had gotten the better of me. I decided to get dressed and take a walk to the beach ...

Es war auf jeden Fall eine gute Entscheidung, das doch etwas laute und verpestete Chennai zu verlassen (obwohl es gegen Kalkutta oder Delhi wohl doch eher ein angenehmes Dorf ist) und in den sehr kleinen und ueberschaubaren Strandort Mamallapuram im Bundesstaat Tamil Nadu zu fahren. Gleich nach der Ankunft kam auch schon ein aelterer Mann auf un...

In my few days post Dolly, we went to the arrival party - really great fun in a beautiful setting and a fantastic night, catching up with all the other Rickshaw Runners - everyone had stories to tell about their adventures! I came across an elephant at a temple which, for only one rupee, touched the top of your head with its trunk would bless y...

Hugh: We took the short bus journey from Chennai to Mamallapuram. We were quite surprised to find that Chennai bus station was like a proper bus-station, with platforms, platform numbers and everything labelled clearly. As we'd read that there is plenty of accommodation in Mamallapuram we hadn't booked anywhere in advance, so we looked round a f...

Yohoo !! Ca y est, je suis arrivé en Inde ! Après un vol via Barhein de, au total, 10h, pendant lequel j'ai fait presque que dormir, je suis arrivé à Mamallapuram. Il fait assez chaud (~30ºC) mais surtout très humide. Mamallapuram est un petit village de pêcheurs assez touristique mais assez sympa. On y trouve quelques temples et grottes perdus...

Dave, Jim, Clint and myself have just spent a very relaxing weekend on the Eastern coastline of India, at a place called Mamallapuram. At only around 12,000 people, it is distinctly unique within India - not filled to the brim with people. It is a tourist town, though not overtly touristy. The collection of street touts, willing you to buy their...

After a short stop in Chennai we are now in Mamallapuram, a small fishing town on the coast famous for its rock carvings, it is home to many artists, sculptors and backpackers. The town's sights can all be reached on foot and we have spent a couple of days strolling around the temples. We also spent a day at the nearby Crocodile Bank which inclu...

Wake up, hushhush to bus police station to retrieve Pete's police report for the insurance claim. Then we take the bus up to Mamallapuram (yet another Indian name I cannot keep in mind), about 30rs, bus is not too crowded and we are happy. Due to camera incident we miss out seeing Mamallapuram, I don't really mind not having done my pre-trip res...
