About Thanjavur
Thanjavur is the Chola capital of the Kaveri delta and the rice bowl of Tamil Nadu. It is known for the Big Temple, Thanjavur paintings, bronze casting and veena makers.
After the drop, guests often head to:
Best months: October to February. Visitors tend to bundle the Big Temple with Gangaikonda Cholapuram and Darasuram; ask about a full-day trip.
Thanjavur is flat and the roads are quick, so the main delay is the Trichy approach; leaving before 7 AM avoids it.
We drop at any address in Thanjavur; frequent drop points are Medical College Road, Gandhiji Road, Vallam Road, Old Bus Stand area and Rajarajan Nagar, and the station or stand at Thanjavur Junction railway station and Thanjavur new bus stand.

We collect you from the door in Madurai. Typical pickups for this trip are Anna Nagar, KK Nagar, Goripalayam, Tallakulam, Thiruppalai and Simmakkal. We also serve Madurai Junction railway station, Mattuthavani bus terminus and Periyar bus stand.
The temple core is jammed by mid-morning, so a pre-8 AM start, or a late-evening run, gets you out of Madurai the fastest. Fix your pickup point on a main road near the temple; the inner lanes are closed to cars during festivals.
