Tiruvannamalai Tour Packages from Coimbatore

What is the distance from Coimbatore to Tiruvannamalai?

The Coimbatore to Tiruvannamalai distance is about 310 km by road, and the drive takes roughly 5.5 hours. Coimbatore to Tiruvannamalai is a one day drive each way, so most families add a second stop. Our package pairs it with Kanchipuram. We pick you up in Coimbatore and bring you back there.

How do you plan a trip to Tiruvannamalai?

A Tiruvannamalai trip plan has three parts: the Arunachaleswarar Temple, the Girivalam walk around Arunachala hill and a night in the town. The temple is one of the five Pancha Bhuta Sthalams, linked to fire, and its lingam is called the Agni Lingam. The complex covers about 10 hectares with four large gopurams; the east Rajagopuram is the tallest at 66 m.

Girivalam is a barefoot walk of about 14 km around the hill. It is done by pilgrims throughout the year, and tens of thousands walk on every full moon. Karthigai Deepam, held in the Tamil month of Karthikai (November to December), lights a huge lamp on the hill. Dates change every year, so tell us your plan and we check before we quote.

Our Tiruvannamalai Kanchipuram 3 day package goes Coimbatore, Tiruvannamalai, Kanchipuram, Coimbatore, with one night in each town.

What does a Tiruvannamalai tour package cost?

Our Tiruvannamalai Kanchipuram 3 day package starts at ₹11,700 per person, and the price per person falls as your group grows. One price covers the AC vehicle, driver, fuel, toll, parking and hotel (3-star or similar, confirmed in your quote). Meals, entry tickets and personal expenses are extra.

What does the 3 day schedule look like?

A trip to Tiruvannamalai on this plan runs like this. Day one is the drive from Coimbatore and a night in Tiruvannamalai. Day two is the Arunachaleswarar Temple and, if you wish, the Girivalam route, then the drive to Kanchipuram for the second night. Day three covers the Kanchipuram temples and a silk weaving centre before the drive back.

Your driver stays with you throughout, so you are not arranging autos between stops. The hotel in each town is named in your quote, and we can adjust the order if you want to time the visit to a full moon or a festival day.

When should you visit Tiruvannamalai?

Avoid April to June if you plan to walk. These are the hottest months in the town, with an average daily maximum up to 38.5 °C in May and a record of 45 °C. Full moon days draw the biggest Girivalam crowds, and Karthigai Deepam is the largest festival. If you want quiet, pick a weekday outside a full moon and book the hotel early.

What can you add to a Tiruvannamalai trip?

• Kanchipuram, a temple and silk town that our package includes.
• Mahabalipuram and Puducherry on the coast for a longer circuit.

The Kanchipuram stops on the package are Ekambareswarar Temple, Kamakshi Amman Temple, Kailasanathar Temple and a silk weaving centre. At Tiruvannamalai, the stops are the Arunachaleswarar Temple and the Girivalam route.

Who is the trip for?

Shaiva pilgrims, families with elders and people who like Pallava and Chola era temples. We run it from our Ganapathy office with our own vehicles and drivers, so one person plans, quotes and sends the vehicle. Pickup is at your home or hotel in Coimbatore, the airport, railway station or bus stand, and the drop is at the same place. Meals, entry tickets and personal expenses are extra, and your quote names the hotel for each night.
