    If you’re aiming for a quiet walk at the temple, try arriving right after the gates open around 6:30 am. The crowds usually swell after 9 am, so you’ll have a clear view of the gopurams. From there, head straight to Thirumalai Nayakkar Mahal; the walk takes about 15 minutes. You’ll get a good view of the palace’s façade before the sun gets hot. After the palace, the museum is a short 5 minute walk away, so you can finish the day with the exhibits while it’s still cool. If you’re staying near the temple, Hotel Grand Sabarees is only 0.8 km away and offers easy access to all three sites.
