Chennai to Sholingur Tour Package by Car - Spiritual Journey


Introduction

Are you planning a peaceful and spiritually fulfilling one day temple tour from Chennai? The Chennai to Sholingur tour package offered by Padmavathi Travels is a perfect blend of comfort, devotion, and convenience. With the newly introduced Sholingur Rope Car Service, devotees no longer need to climb 1,305 steps to reach the hilltop shrine of Sri Yoga Narasimha Swamy. This package is ideal for senior citizens, families with children, and anyone looking for a stress-free darshan.

This blog provides a complete guide to the Sholingur temple rope car, ticket prices, darshan timings, travel itinerary, and car rental packages from Chennai. Let’s explore how to plan a comfortable and spiritually enriching day trip with Padmavathi Travels.

Why Visit Sholingur Temple?

The ancient town of Sholingur, also known as Ghatikachalam, is located in the Tiruvallur district of Tamil Nadu. It is a revered Vaishnavite pilgrimage site and home to the temples of:

  • Sri Yoga Narasimha Swamy (Periya Malai – Big Hill)

  • Sri Anjaneya Swamy (Chinna Malai – Small Hill)

According to tradition, spending 24 minutes (1 Nazhigai) at this temple can free the devotee from mental stress and promote spiritual upliftment. The temple is historically and spiritually significant, attracting pilgrims from across South India.

Importance of the Rope Car at Sholingur Temple

The Yoga Narasimha Swamy Temple is situated atop a 750-foot hill and is traditionally reached by climbing over 1,300 steps. While many devotees prefer the spiritual challenge, it is not easy for:

  • Elderly pilgrims

  • People with physical or health conditions

  • Families with toddlers or infants

  • First-time visitors unfamiliar with the terrain

To improve accessibility, a rope car service was introduced at Sholingur temple, making the journey safer and faster.

Key Highlights of the Sholingur Rope Car:

  • Rope Car Ticket Price: ₹15 per person (one way), ₹30 per person (round trip)

  • Timings: 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM

  • Duration of Ride: 10–15 minutes

  • Ticket Availability: Only at the base counter (offline)

  • Location of Ticket Counter: Near the Rope Car entrance at the base hill

This affordable and time-saving option allows more devotees to comfortably experience darshan without physical strain.
