Why visit Kanchipuram
Kanchipuram was the capital of the Pallavas and one of the seven sacred cities of India. Its skyline is a forest of temple towers, and its weavers have made silk saris here for centuries.
On this tour we visit four of its most important temples, with time for darshan and for the silk shops. We plan the route around temple timings, so you are not left waiting outside closed doors.
