The destination
A hill temple pilgrimage
Palani is home to the hilltop Dandayuthapani Swamy Temple, one of the best-known Murugan shrines in Tamil Nadu. Pilgrims climb the steps or use the other ways up the hill and often make a day or overnight trip from Madurai.
A drop taxi is useful if you continue to Kodaikanal or Coimbatore afterward; a round trip fits a single-day darshan. See Kodaikanal if you want to add hills to the trip.
