If you are flying

What the road asks of you

A round trip here is billed by the day, not the kilometre

A return journey is charged for at least 250 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 143 km each way, so 285 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 750 km. On a short trip that floor is most of the fare, and two one-way journeys can work out cheaper — worth comparing both before you book.

This route crosses into Kerala

Leaving Andhra Pradesh for Kerala means a state permit. Whether you pay it depends on the fare you pick: a toll-included fare has it inside, and nothing is collected at the border; the cheaper fare leaves it out, and it is handed over at the checkpost. The amount is set by Kerala, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.

What is there

Guruvayur Temple

The Krishna temple the town exists for.

Punnathur Kotta

The elephant sanctuary belonging to the temple, a few kilometres away.

Mammiyoor Temple

The Shiva temple visited alongside the main one by custom.

Worth knowing before you go

  • The temple has a dress code and non-Hindus are not admitted to the sanctum — worth knowing before the drive.
  • Darshan queues are long on weekends and festival days.
