Embark on a divine journey to Lord Ayyappa’s holy shrine at Sabarimala with the trusted services of SM Travels Hyderabad. We provide spacious, comfortable, and safe Tempo Traveller rentals from Hyderabad to Sabarimala, specially designed for pilgrims traveling in groups. Whether you are planning with family, friends, or a large batch of devotees, our vehicles ensure a smooth and spiritually fulfilling trip to the abode of Lord Ayyappa.
Sabarimala, located in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district, is one of the most significant Hindu pilgrimage centers in India. Nestled amidst the lush Western Ghats forests, the Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple attracts millions of devotees, especially during the Mandala-Makaravilakku season (November to January). The pilgrimage is unique as it requires devotees to observe strict vratham (austerities) before undertaking the journey, and the highlight is the 18 sacred steps (Pathinettam Padi) leading to Lord Ayyappa’s sanctum.
With SM Travels Tempo Travellers, you can focus on your spiritual journey while we take care of your travel comfort, safety, and arrangements.
