Why Choose a Tempo Traveller for Kodaikanal?
Kodaikanal is about 520 km from Chennai, roughly a 9½-hour drive. A tempo traveller makes this long trip easier because:
- The whole group travels together. Friends, family and colleagues share one vehicle and one itinerary.
- Comfort on the overnight drive. Pushback seats and AC help you rest through the night, and you reach the hills in the morning.
- Better value per person. Splitting one vehicle among 10–18 people costs far less than several cars.
- Safe hill driving. Our drivers have 10+ years of experience, including the ghat road up to Kodaikanal.
