💡 Travel Tips
💰 Stay in government-approved pilgrim hostels or budget homestays near the temple entrance for accommodation costs as low as ₹300-500 per night, significantly cheaper than commercial hotels while offering authentic local experiences.
📅 October to February offers the most pleasant weather with cool temperatures ranging from 15-25°C, making it ideal for trekking and temple visits. Avoid May-June when temperatures soar above 35°C and the monsoon season (July-September) brings heavy rainfall that can disrupt travel plans.
🛂 Indian passport holders do not require a visa to visit Palani as it is located within India. Simply carry a valid Indian ID proof like Aadhaar, PAN, or passport for domestic travel.
