Pondicherry to Megamalai 1N/2D Sedan Tour
• Vehicle: AC Sedan (e.g., Swift Dzire, Etios, or similar)
• Capacity: Ideal for 2-4 travelers (note: 3 adults offer maximum comfort for a long journey).
• Total Journey: The travel time is substantial (approx. 7 hours one-way drive from Pondy to the Theni foothills), necessitating a very early start on Day 1.
⚠️ Mandatory Vehicle Note for Megamalai (Theni Check Post):
The road to Megamalai is excellent tarmac for the first 40 km, but the final stretch to certain viewpoints (like Maharaja Mettu) can still be rough or broken, especially after monsoon. While the Rengha Sedan and driver are capable of handling the ghat road, SUV/Jeep transfer is highly recommended for the final 5-10 km if you wish to visit the most remote viewpoints. Please confirm current road conditions with the operator at the time of booking.
