💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in the town center near the Shore Temple rather than resort areas - you'll find budget guesthouses at ₹800-1500/night with easy walking access to all major temples and beaches, saving 40-50% on accommodation costs.
📅 October to February offers the perfect climate with cool mornings and pleasant afternoons, ideal for temple exploration and beach activities. Avoid May-September monsoons when heavy rains and rough seas make outdoor activities challenging.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require any visa as Mahabalipuram is in Tamil Nadu, India. Simply carry your valid national ID or passport for domestic travel.
