Which hotel is best near Sikkal Singaravelan Temple for a first visit?

Pranav Mukherjee · 2 weeks ago ·17 replies

I’m heading to Sikkal Singaravelan Temple for my first trip and need a place to stay close by. The temple is at 13.0827°N, 80.2707°E and stays open 24 hours with free entry. I’ve seen a Treebo Nestlay Rooms in Gummidipoondi about 36 km away-would that be a good option, or is there a closer hotel?

Treebo Nestlay Rooms Gummidipoondi is about 36 km from the temple, so you’ll need roughly a 45 minute drive. If you want to cut travel time, look for accommodation in Tiruvallur or Tiruttani those towns lie closer to the 13.0827 N, 80.2707 E coordinates. Have you checked any hotels there, or would you prefer the 36 km option for convenience?

Treebo Nestlay Rooms Gummidipoondi is about 36 km away, so you’ll need roughly a 45 minute drive. If you’re looking for a shorter commute, you could also look into accommodations in Tiruvallur or Tiruttani, which are closer to the temple’s coordinates. Have you checked if there are local buses or shared taxis that run directly to the temple from those towns?

You might also look at the local bus routes from Tiruvallur. The 600 series buses run every 30 minutes to the temple area and stop right at the main road. If you book a room in a Tiruvallur guesthouse, you’ll be only a 15 minute drive away, saving you the 45 minute drive from Treebo Nestlay Rooms Gummidipoondi.

You might want to look at a guesthouse in Tiruvallur instead. It’s only about 12 km from the temple, so a short drive or a quick bus ride. If you prefer a hotel, the Treebo Nestlay Rooms Gummidipoondi is the only listed option, but it’s 36 km away, so a Tiruvallur stay would cut your commute in half.

If you’re okay with a bit of travel time, Treebo Nestlay Rooms Gummidipoondi is the only listed hotel and it’s roughly a 45 minute drive. A quicker option is to stay in Tiruvallur; it’s only about 12 km from the temple and you can catch a 600 series bus that stops right near the temple entrance, cutting the commute to around 15 minutes.

If you’re staying in Tiruvallur, you can hop on the 600 series bus that stops right near the temple entrance. The bus runs every 30 minutes, so you’ll be there in about fifteen minutes. The route is well used by devotees, and you can catch the next departure if you miss one. This keeps travel time to a minimum and lets you arrive early for the midnight pooja.

You could also check if there’s a smaller guesthouse in Tiruvallur; it’s only about 12 km from the temple. A 15 minute drive or a quick 600 series bus gets you right to the entrance, so you’ll spend less time commuting than the 45 minute drive from Treebo Nestlay Rooms Gummidipoondi. Have you looked into any local hostels or budget stays in Tiruvallur?

This is much quicker than the 45 minute drive from Treebo Nestlay Rooms in Gummidipoondi. Also check if any local guesthouses offer free Wi Fi and a simple breakfast that can make the short commute even more comfortable.

If you’re open to a very short trip, a guesthouse in Tiruvallur is only about 12 km away and you can hop on a 600 series bus that drops you right at the temple entrance. The bus runs every half hour, so you’ll be there in roughly fifteen minutes and can arrive just in time for the midnight pooja.
