Where the car goes
The car drops you at the foot of the hill. The temple is reached by steps, the winch or the rope car; the cab waits below.
When to go
Thaipusam, in January or February, is the great festival, and Panguni Uthiram in March or April the other. Weekdays outside those are quiet.
Worth knowing
- Kodaikanal is about 65 km up the hill road from Palani; many people do both in two days.
- The panchamritham sold at the temple travels well; buy it on the way down.
- From Chennai it is a long drive; the three-day fare is the honest one.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a cab to Palani cost from Coimbatore?+
₹7,192 for a hatchback for 2 days, and ₹12,705 for the largest car — the whole round trip, driver allowance for every day and GST inside. Toll and parking are paid as they come.
Why is it priced as a round trip?+
Because the car waits for you. A one-way each way leaves you finding a car in a temple town at its busiest hour; the round trip keeps the same driver and the same car for the whole journey.
What if we take longer than the days booked?+
Tell the driver, and the extra day is added at the same per-day rate with its allowance. There is no penalty for an extra day; there is a bill for it.
