Overview
Balancing Rock is a Mahabalipuram's mysterical location where a big structure of 250 tons and 20 feet high, defies the law of Physics. This 1200-year-old rock stands on an extremely small area over the hill. One must visit to experience this natural balancing act which is locally also named as Krishna's Butter Ball. In Tamil, the name of Balancing Rock is pronounced as 'Vaanirai Kal' which means 'Stone of the sky God'.
Description
The Balancing Rock is a hard to believe structure according to the science rules. It is such a grand and a heavy ball of stone which has balanced itself on a 4 feet area from a long period of 1200 years. It is heavier and bigger rock than the monolithic stones of Machu Picchu and Peru. This surprising Rock also fails the pushing attempt made by the seven elephants on the order of Madras Governor, Arthur Lawley.

Golden triangle was helpful for us to visit three different destinations in three states of India with cultural differences. It was my honeymoon trip & we booked it from Antilog vacations. We enjoyed rickshaw ride in Delhi & visited Chandni Chowk, Red fort, Jama Masjid & Qutub Minar. Taj Mahal visit was a wonderful Honeymoon gift for both of us, we spent half of our day at Taj Mahal. We were surprised by flower decoration & Honeymoon cake with royal treatment at Jaipur.

We organized a family trip for a week; it was a tour of Delhi Agra & Jaipur. This was a leisure trip for the elders but at the same time educational trip for the Children. At Delhi we visited Qutub Minar, Lotus Temple, India Gate, Red fort & Akshardham Temple. Then we went to Agra there we visited Agra fort & Taj Mahal. On the way to Jaipur we also visited Fatehpur Sikari. Our last two days of the tour were in Jaipur, there we visited hawa mahal. Pink city, Jal Mahal & Amer fort. This tour was the result of Antilog Vacations tour planning. Thanks to Antilog for such a wonderful trip.
