The last month has been less busy than expected. After the great start in December until Pongal the tourists were noticeably less in the village. Although it is nice for the guests in the Gecko, by always finding a place and having the specials of the day in no time , has been hard to make business, almost like in off-season time. Due to the financial crisis and the attacks in bombay it is a low season, which does keep Mamallapuram a relatively silent place even in high season time in this year. And that should be quite attractive to any travelors right now, because ususally its more complicated to find hotelrooms and a place in a restaurant without waiting in the middle of february.
