Overview
Every year from mid-November, thousands of men in Chennai begin their Karthigai month vratham, wearing black attire and observing strict rituals before visiting Lord Iyyappa in Sabarimala, 535 km away. These devoted “Samis” complete their vow only after darshan at the holy shrine. Our Sabarimala Tour Package from Chennai is trusted by countless devotees for its safe travel, comfortable vehicles, expert drivers, and perfectly planned pilgrimage experience.
