Excaping the hordes of pilgrims we headed south over the Eastern Ghats. After yesterdays driving this was particularly pleasing. With only 200km to do we also took it easy and enjoyed the views of small hills covered with odd rock formations.
We've decided to take a rest day before our final dash to the finishline in Pondicherry on Saturday so headed to the coastal town of Mamallapuram. This time it doesn't smell of fish and so far seems rather relaxed. There are also a lot of other teams in town, most it seems having had a much harder time of it than us.
The town is known for it's stone carvings, including huge boulders and man made caves that have been sculpted into various forms mainly to celebrate the skills of the locals who have been doing it for hundreds of years.
Looking forward to the beach tomorrow.
Current location: Greenwood Beach Resort, Mamallapuram 12N 37'09.7" 80E 11'49.8" 32m

Great news guys!! Glad you are finding time for relaxing. Have become addicted to reading of your exploits - any chance that you can just turn around and head back to Kathmandu to keep them coming??
(Which one of you said "Bo**ocks!!)
Enjoy crossing the Finish Line.
Wow - can't believe you're almost there and with time to spare to get a tan at the beach!
Still there's still a few kms left for you to have a better breakdown than 1 flat tyre!
Are there extra points for crossing the line first? If so sod the beach start letting the other tuk tuk tyres down now!
Hey guys!
Sterling work so far by the sounds of it! Very entertaining read too, good luck for the final straight, making me very jealous reading it all, kinda pisses on my planned trip to Devon to do some surfing!!
