Choose Chennai to Tiruvannamalai outstation taxi for the 190km Karthigai Deepam run. One way drop before vehicle restrictions. Reserve your cab today!
Karthigai Deepam at Tiruvannamalai runs from November 12 to 28, and the government expects over 50 lakh devotees across the festival period. The Public Works Minister has specifically directed that no vehicle will be allowed to enter town, especially during the Maha Deepam, with shuttle services planned between bus termini and the town. This makes a pre-booked drop taxi to a designated outer point essential for anyone travelling from Chennai. Self-driving or last-minute cab arrangements will hit restricted zones and leave you dependent on crowded shuttle queues.
The Bharani Deepam and Mahadeepam ceremonies atop Annamalai Hill are the festival’s climax, and lakhs gather for the final night. Our drivers know the shuttle service points and can coordinate your arrival to match the festival schedule, so you are not standing at the wrong end of town when the deepam is lit. A one-way drop taxi on this route starts around ₹3,000 for a sedan, covering fuel and driver with tolls billed separately. The 190 km route via NH 48 takes about four hours through Chengalpattu and Vandavasi.
Travellers who plan their drop point in advance will avoid the shuttle queues that build up around the restricted zones. Booking ahead also gives you the flexibility to stay multiple days for the Brahmotsavam without a return driver waiting. The 14 km Girivalam path remains accessible through November, and the Ramana Maharshi Ashram is within reach of the town’s outer zones. Our drivers can advise on the best times for Girivalam and the least crowded approach routes during the festival.
Chennai to Tiruvannamalai is approximately 190 km via NH 48 and takes about four hours through Chengalpattu and Vandavasi. Karthigai Deepam is the year's second-peak month for the temple town, with the Arunachaleswarar Temple at full Pancha Bhoota Stalam fire-element ritual tempo. Our outstation taxi collects you from any Chennai address and drops you at the designated outer point before vehicle restrictions begin.
With over 50 lakh devotees expected and no private vehicle entry into town during Maha Deepam, planning your drop point in advance is critical.

Our drivers know the shuttle service points and can coordinate your arrival to match the festival schedule.
Our outstation cab service includes the 14 km Girivalam path, which remains accessible through November, and the Ramana Maharshi Ashram, both within reach of the town's outer zones.

Beyond the temple, Tiruvannamalai offers the Virupaksha Cave and Skandashramam on Arunachala's slopes, both worth a morning visit before the festival crowds peak. Selecting a one way taxi gives you the flexibility to stay multiple days for the Brahmotsavam without a return driver waiting.
