Who we are
About Aalaya Tours
Aalaya Tours is a pilgrimage travel service focused on one thing: helping families and groups visit the temples of South India comfortably.
Aalayam means temple — and temples are at the heart of everything we do. Aalaya Tours plans private temple tours and pilgrimage journeys across Tamil Nadu and South India, with a vehicle and driver dedicated to your group for the entire trip.
Pilgrimage travel is different
A temple visit is not an ordinary sightseeing trip. Darshan timings, early-morning poojas, holy baths, festival crowds, dress codes and the needs of elderly family members all shape the day. Our itineraries are planned around these details so that your time at the temple is peaceful and unhurried.
How we work
We keep booking simple. Browse our suggested tours, or tell us which temples you wish to visit. Tap any Book button, fill in a few details and your booking request opens in WhatsApp — we then confirm the route, vehicle and pickup time with you directly. We are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and there is no online payment on this website.
We operate from Coimbatore, Madurai, Ooty, Kodaikanal, Bangalore and Mysore, and regularly travel across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. See our pickup citiesand fleet.
