This was a special treat for me. I am a hobbyist weaver and I booked a day trip from Chennai to Kanchipuram - famous for handwoven silk saris. I was able to observe two weavers making saris using jacquard looms and learned about their weaving process.
Additionally, my excellent tour guide took me to two amazing Hindu temples and explained their history and social significance.
The driver was excellent..very safe. The lunch ( a traditional South Indian thali) was delicious and my guide explained all of the dishes.
I highly recommend this trip. It was private ( I was the only person on the tour), safe and extremely interesting.
