Chennai to Tiruvannamalai Van Rental – Comfortable 14-Seater for Arunachaleswarar Temple
Tiruvannamalai is one of Tamil Nadu’s most powerful pilgrimage destinations — and Chennai to Tiruvannamalai van rental is one of our most frequent bookings, especially around Karthigai Deepam. Home to the Arunachaleswarar Temple, one of the five Pancha Bhuta Stalas representing the element of fire, Tiruvannamalai draws lakhs of devotees every month. Our Force Urbania 14-seater ensures your group reaches the holy town comfortably and returns safely.

Karthigai Deepam Special Trips from Chennai
Karthigai Deepam is Tiruvannamalai’s most celebrated festival — a massive flame is lit on top of Arunachala hill visible from kilometres away. Lakhs of pilgrims arrive for this event. Palm Tree Travels offers special Karthigai Deepam van packages from Chennai — book at least 2 weeks in advance as vans fill up quickly during this festival.
What Is Girivalam and How Does Our Van Help?
Girivalam is the sacred 14 km pradakshina (circumambulation) walk around the Arunachala hill. Devotees do this on every Purnami (full moon) night starting at midnight. Our driver drops your group at the Girivalam starting point, waits, and picks you up at the finishing point — so the group doesn’t have to walk back to the vehicle after the 14 km parikrama.
