Along the Way
The Pilgrim Road from Trivandrum
Your driver collects you from Vattiyoorkavu, Nemom, Attingal or any home in the district. A Trivandrum Airport to Sabarimala taxi meets devotees flying in from the Gulf or other states, often already wearing the mala and carrying the Irumudi. The Trivandrum to Sabarimala via Pathanamthitta road follows the MC Road north through Kilimanoor, Kottarakkara and Adoor. A short detour to Pandalam lets a Trivandrum to Pandalam taxi stop at the Valiyakoyikkal temple, linked to the Ayyappa legend. From Pathanamthitta, the road climbs past Vadasserikara and Laha into thick forest. Some drivers choose the Trivandrum to Sabarimala via Punalur road through Anchal and Konni when the MC Road is crowded. A Trivandrum to Nilakkal taxi reaches the main base camp, where large parking grounds hold private vehicles in peak season. When the season's rules allow, a Trivandrum to Pamba taxi drops you at the river and then returns to Nilakkal to park. The Trivandrum to Sabarimala distance by road is about 175 km to Pamba. From Pamba, the climb to the shrine is about 5 km on foot through Neelimala and Sabari Peedam. Most devotees take two to three hours to reach the eighteen holy steps.
