Amazing world heritage town of Cholas - We had an amazing tour of this Chola town called Gangaikonda cholapuram. I had heard of a world heritage site near Pondicherry but not many had visited it. So I wanted to explore and took a guided tour with 5 Senses Tours. Our guide was phenomenal and we had a great time appreciating the incredible architecture and sculptures of this 1000 year old capital of the mighty Chola Empire. Very highly recommended as a day trip from pondicherry.
