About this stay
A quiet eight-room house on Chengam Road, a ten-minute walk from the Arunachaleswarar temple's east gopuram.
The residency is on a side lane off Chengam Road, far enough from the main bazaar for the nights to be quiet and close enough that you can walk to the temple's east gate in about ten minutes. Rooms are plain, clean and cool, arranged around a central courtyard with a tulsi planter and cane chairs where most guests end up sitting before dawn.
The kitchen is pure vegetarian and serves a south Indian breakfast from 6:00 AM, which matters when you are leaving for girivalam or temple darshan early. The roof terrace faces the hill directly, and on full-moon nights it is the best seat in the building. Staff can arrange a priest for temple arrangements, a car for the girivalam road, and early packed breakfast on request.
- Ten-minute walk to the Arunachaleswarar temple east gopuram
- Roof terrace facing Arunachala hill

Right choice for an early girivalam start
“Clean, quiet and close enough to walk to the east gopuram. Breakfast was ready at 6 and they packed idlis for the walk. The terrace view of the hill is as good as described. One star off only because the lane outside gets noisy by about 7 AM.”
