re: Road-trip to Mamallapuram with my cycle Bike in place
Morning ride along ECR to Mamallapuram and back
Vast parking at the property, almost resembled my basement parking with these two
Drove to Mamallapuram after breakfast and parked near the Maragatha Poonga. All the places of interest were walkable (at a pinch) from there
Started with the Olakanneshwara Temple and the lighthouse
Next up, the Pancha Rathas further down
Retracing back, Arjuna's Penance had me gazing at it for a long time
The Lighthouse and Maritime Museum was interesting and devoid of crowds too
The Varaha cave and Krishna's Butter Ball are adjacent to Arjuna's Penance. I could not really get a good enough (and empty) frame for the latter
The Shore temple in all its majesty against the stunning backdrop of the sea
Evening ride on the ECR from the resort
A click of the property
Shore Temple at dawn
One really bad stretch somewhere between Uthukadu and NH48. In hindsight, I was just fortunate
The rock sculptures deserve another unhurried and closer look and might volunteer to take someone down there for this! |
