Tour Overview

This three-day pilgrimage brings together three of the most important temples in Tamil Nadu — each with a very different character — in one comfortable loop from Coimbatore.

You begin with Lord Murugan at the Palani hill temple, then continue to the temple city of Madurai for evening darshan at the Meenakshi Amman Temple. On the second day you visit Thiruparankundram before driving to the island of Rameswaram, and the tour concludes with the holy bath and darshan at the Ramanathaswamy Jyotirlinga.

It is one of our most requested itineraries for families from the Kongu region, and it works just as well starting from Kodaikanal or Ooty.
