Which is better option to go to Sabarimala - Bus, Taxi, Train or Self-drive rental car?


Pamba is the nearest bus station to Sabarimala. The hill-climbing by the devotees starts from Pamba station. During the pilgrimage season, Kerala government-controlled KSRTC operates several buses to Pamba from all cities in Kerala. If you are comfortable travelling by bus, then you can save taxi charges and reach very close to the base station of Sabarimala by the bus itself.

If you want to be more comfortable and like to avoid public transport, then your best options are self-drive rental cars or driver operated taxi cabs. If you are coming from other states, then you can arrive in Kerala by flight (Cochin International Airport) and rent a car in cochin airport without driver or by Train (Ernakulam, Kottayam, Chengannoor stations) and then hire a cab. Self-drive cars may be slightly cheaper than driver-operated cabs but you may face parking issues at Pamba. Even though the cars can reach up to Pamba to drop off passengers, the car cannot be parked there. The driver has to take the car back to Nilakkal and park there. This makes self-drive cars a little inconvenient. The driver operated cars come in handy in this case. If you hire a cab and driver, he will drop you off at Pamba and then park the car at Nilakkal. While returning from Sabarimala, you will have to take the public bus from Pamba to Nilakkal and board your car from there.
