The Divya Dakshin Yatra with Jyotirlinga-Tiruvannamalai-Rameswaram-Madurai-Kanyakumari-Trivandrum-Trichy from Hyderabad is a 9 days / 8 nights Bharat Gaurav train tour that starts at Secunderabad. It suits pilgrims and retired couples from Telangana and coastal Andhra who want to cover the major temples of Tamil Nadu and south Kerala by rail, with little planning of their own.

Route and travel

The train leaves Secunderabad around noon and picks up guests at stations such as Kazipet, Warangal, Khammam, Vijayawada, Tenali, Ongole, Nellore, Gudur and Renigunta. It reaches Tiruvannamalai late on day two. From there the route runs south, using stations such as Manamadurai for Rameswaram and Kochuveli for Trivandrum, with road transfers to the temples. The last stop is Trichy before the return to Secunderabad. The description mentions an A/C sleeper coach.

Places covered

  • Arunachaleswarar Temple, Tiruvannamalai, the fire-element temple of Lord Shiva.
  • Ramanathaswamy Temple, Rameswaram, the Jyotirlinga of this yatra.
  • Meenakshi Amman Temple, Madurai.
  • Kanyakumari: Vivekananda Rock Memorial, Gandhi Mandapam and sunset point.
  • Kovalam Beach and the Padmanabha Swamy Temple in Trivandrum.
  • Srirangam Temple near Trichy and the Brihadeeswara Temple in Thanjavur.

Tips for this trip

  • Pack a dhoti for men and a saree or long skirt for women; Padmanabhaswamy Temple does not allow shirts or salwar sets inside.
  • Keep your voter ID or Aadhaar card with you through the tour, as the tour operator asks for it.
  • Tamil Nadu is warm and humid most of the year, so light cotton and a small umbrella help.
  • Many stops need temple clothes and bare feet; a small cloth bag for footwear is handy.
  • Phones are not allowed inside several of these temples, so leave them on the bus when the guide advises.
