A short 10-minute drive from this place will take you to DakshinaChitra Heritage Museum, a living-history museum where you will come across open-air exhibits in the form of houses from different regions in southern India displaying local architectural heritage. Upon entering the houses, you will get to learn about the culture of the people living in these regions from curated displays as well as local artists. I spent one fun year interning at this museum, learning in depth about local art forms from artists working in the museum.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
This accommodation is near Mahabalipuram, a coastal town that is home to a number of historic stone-carved temples. It is a treasure trove for history buffs. The Shore Temple, the Pancha Rathas, and a number of cave temples are present here. My favorite among the sculptures here is the stone relief of the 'Descent of the Ganges', also known as 'Arjuna's Penance'. Depicting a vibrant diversity of creatures busy with mundane tasks on either side of the mythological descent of the river Ganges, this dynamic sculpture captures the contrast between the quotidian and the divine in a sensitive, humane way.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
One of my favorite shops in this area is the ground-floor store section of the Hibiscus Cafe. They sell a wide variety of organic products, from daily provisions, vegetables, and snacks to toiletries and home cleaning products. I go here to get my regular supplies of soap, shampoo, and hair oil. They also have a very nice collection of wooden, stone, clay, and metal cookware. I haven't been to the cafe upstairs, but I have bought their baked items from the takeaway counter, and they are quite yummy.

Tip from Trip101 local expert
If you are craving for momos during your stay here, head to Rikki's, a friendly diner specializing in momos, thukpa, ramen, and noodles. Apart from the regular steamed and fried momos, they also offer fusion momos such as tandoori momos, cheese dip momos, Afghani malai momos, and more. Do try them if you are in the mood for some adventure. Or, you can go for my favorite, the classic kothey momos, a half-fried half-steamed version of this beloved dumpling. I am also a fan of the Sha Phaley, fried bread filled with minced chicken, here. The chicken ramen is another must-try dish. The stunning sea view from this rooftop restaurant makes the food taste even better!
