Feb 2010:
Bangalore to Tiruchendur, by KPN travels - (8 pm Bommanahalli --> 7 am Tiruchendur) A/C Rs.600/-(Bus stops at A2B for dinner at 9:30 pm)
Tiruchendur to Tuticorin, by car (40 kms, 1 hr, Rs.600/-)
Tuticorin to Bangalore, by Train - (4:30 pm --> 5:45 am Cantt) - Madurai station comes at around 7:45 pm -- Meenakshi Bhavan food packet for Dinner.
Asked the auto guys to take to Mani Iyer Hotel. They charged us Rs.50.
There are many hotels/lodges in the lane. Stayed at Hotel Cauvery.
Non-A/C double is Rs.600 and 3Bed A/C is Rs1300. The A/C room is good.
Food was not very good both at Mani Iyer and at Hotel Cauvery! This lane is on the other side of the nazhi kaenar.
Temple is abt 100mts from the hotel and hence is very convenient.
Returned by KPN Sleeper(Rs.900). Boarded the bus from the same place(Rs.50 by auto from the hotel) and left by 6.45pm. Reached Bangalore at 7.30am(silk board).
UPDATE - Feb 2019
- Stayed in the usual lodge that is inside a gully near temple. Paid Rs. 1500/- for an A/C room with 4 beds. Note: Try to book rooms online..check TTDC.
- Only one lodge (Chakravarthy Inn?) next to bus stand. It was overbooked though.
- Ramesh Iyer hotel tiffin is good; lunch was not great.
- Temple was crowded, so, went in Rs. 250/- entrance. Took 30 mins for Darshan.
