The journey
Palani is one of the six abodes of Murugan and a major pilgrimage destination in its own right, particularly around Thaipusam. The temple sits on a hill reached by a winding road, a funicular or, for those making a vow, a long flight of steps. We drop at whichever your intentions require.
Worth knowing
- Roughly 3 hours.
- Thaipusam in January brings very large crowds.
- Often combined with Kodaikanal, which is an hour further on.
Always included
- Tolls, permits and parking
