Tour package questions
Do your tour packages include hotels?
Our packages cover the tempo traveller and driver. We are happy to suggest hotels we know on each route, and can book them on request, but most groups prefer to choose their own stay.
Can we customise the route?
Yes. Every package is a starting point. Add a temple, skip a stop, or stay a night longer. We will re-quote in minutes.
What is the best tempo traveller for a 4-day Ooty trip?
For up to 12 people, a 12 seater works well. For long hill days, many families choose a 16 seater or a luxury tempo traveller for the extra legroom.
How early should we leave Chennai for Tirupati?
Leave by 2 or 3 am for a same-day trip, so you reach Tirumala before the morning queues build.
