Thanks 

Great Trip! Could learn a lot of stuff :) Thank you

A friend of mine met Kumar and was taken by him to visit the Tempels after having done that they invited me to come to eat with them (the restaurant was excellent and the best in town). That day and the day after Kumar showed us around and showed us some incredibly nice and beautiful places which we would never have found alone.  And I really enjoyed talking to him and spending time with him as he not only nows his way around his hometown incredibly well but also has an amazing and wonderful worldview which lets you enjoy the town and the time with him to the fullest.

I decided to walk to the town right after i arrived, only for the purpose of joy and meeting people, and 5 minutes later i ran into this man who was feeding the local dogs. We just started talking to, each other like we knew each other for a long time. Everything i encountered with him afterwards produced the most beautiful time i had in india. This absolute outstanding intelligent men knew everything about his hometown Mahaballipuram, the temples and their history and moreover he had beautiful knowledge of life, nature and the human soul. If you go with Kumar, who know became a friend for life, you will have the best time possible.
