The journey

Chidambaram's temple is dedicated to Shiva as the cosmic dancer and is unusual in being administered by a hereditary community of priests rather than the state. It sits neatly on the road to Puducherry, which is why most of our guests see it as a stop rather than a destination.

Worth knowing

  • Roughly 3 hours.
  • Frequently combined with Puducherry or Pichavaram.
  • The temple closes between 12:00 and 16:30.

Always included

  • Tolls, permits and parking
  • Driver allowance — no batta
  • 60 minutes’ free waiting on arrivals
  • Bottled water and hand towels
  • Free cancellation up to 12 hours before
