Travel Tips and Guidelines
- Dress code at temples. Many Tamil temples have a dress rule. Men usually wear a dhoti or trousers and women a saree, salwar or long skirt. Shorts and sleeveless tops may not be allowed.
- Phones and bags. Phones and cameras are not allowed inside some temples, such as the Meenakshi Amman Temple at Madurai. Use the cloak room.
- Rameshwaram bath. The holy bath at the theerthams is taken in wet clothes. Carry a spare set of clothes and a towel.
- Check the ferry. The ferry to the Vivekananda Rock Memorial runs in fixed hours and can stop in rough sea, so keep the morning free.
- Beat the heat. From March to June it is hot and humid. Carry water, a cap and cotton clothes.
- Expect queues. Weekends, festivals and school holidays are very crowded at Madurai and Rameshwaram. Early morning darshan is calmer.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, road conditions, temple timings or local rules. Extra stay caused by landslides, bad weather, road closures or flight cancellations is payable by the guest.
