Time Your Darshan Wisely

Temperatures might reach dangerously high levels when near the temple in May and June. Thus, to survive the intense heat from the sun while going up the hill, either by means of 693 staircases or by means of a winch train and cable car, you will need to ensure that you arrive very early in the morning or even late evening. Through the participation in Vishwaroopa Darshan, the ritual performed early morning at 5:40, you will have the chance not only to save yourself from the scorching heat and huge crowds of devotees but also to visit the holy mountain during the weekend. You can relax at the lodges in Palani after that.

Keep hydrated and be comfortable

This is a sacred mountain, and energy intake will definitely be very high during your climb up. Ensure that you have your bottle of water along, since there will be certain places on your way up where you can relax. Wear traditional cotton clothes, which are light and allow good airflow, since these materials will keep you cool and at the same time will not violate the temple dressing code. As dealing with the hot summer crowd is something that can drain you, finding your lodging through a trustworthy Palani room booking service before your trip will provide you with a cool and air-conditioned room waiting for you as soon as you return from your visit.

Choose the Right Location

One of the issues that you need to take into account when going on a trip with kids, elders, or your entire family in the summer is that exposure to high temperatures should be avoided. Walking all the way to the Giri Veethi (hill path) from a distant area will mean wasting a lot of your precious energy. Opting for a hotel near Palani temple at a good location will be very handy, not just for going up to the steps or the cable car station but also for having a room at hand to take a shower or have a short nap before the evening poojas.
