Getting there

How to visit

Base yourself in Gangaikonda Cholapuram or a nearby town in Ariyalur.
Confirm opening/access rules, dress code, local transport and weather before leaving.

Check festival, weekly-closure and weather conditions before travel.
Respect local worship, dress, waste and photography rules.

Safety

Do not ignore sea, waterfall, forest, heat or landslide warnings.
Use experienced drivers on ghat roads and late-night intercity transfers.
