To Pamba, non-stop: Google Maps, fastest route, checked 6 October 2026.
Visakhapatnam to Pamba is 1,462 km by road — about 27 hours of non-stop driving, mostly on NH 16, according to Google Maps. It is the longest of the three runs we cover, and the one where planning the halts matters most.
We run Kerala trips for devotees starting from Visakhapatnam and the towns around it, in a Tempo Traveller or an SUV with a Telugu-speaking driver. With 27 hours at the wheel, the quote and the itinerary are worked out together on WhatsApp before you commit.
The road from Visakhapatnam
The first leg is NH 16 down the coast through Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, Ongole and Nellore towards Chennai. Google's 27 hours is driving time only; with meals, rest and traffic, plan at least one night halt each way, and expect a long second day.
Parking and vehicle entry near Pamba are set by the Kerala authorities each season and can change, so check the latest advisory when you finalise your plan.
Which vehicle for your group
Up to six or seven devotees travelling as a family or a small group: an SUV (6 passengers) or a Premium SUV (6 to 7 passengers).
Eight to seventeen: a Tempo Traveller, which seats 12 to 17, so the whole group rides in one vehicle with one driver instead of a convoy.
Not sure? Send the number of people on WhatsApp and we will tell you which fits.
When to go
The Mandala season usually runs from mid-November to late December, and the Makaravilakku season follows in January. The Travancore Devaswom Board fixes the exact dates each year, so check its official calendar and tell us your own travel dates.
How the quote works
Send your dates, pickup place and group size on WhatsApp and you get one clear quote for the whole trip before you travel. Tolls, Kerala state tax and the driver's allowance are shown at what they actually cost, and nothing is paid in advance.

Fares above are per-kilometre rates and the estimates they produce. Tolls, state tax and the driver allowance are billed on top at actuals, so an estimate is not the final figure — the total is confirmed on WhatsApp before travel.
Distances are checked road estimates, not exact odometer readings.
There is no advance payment and no online checkout. Any page asking for card details is not ours.
Do not invent fares, distances, vehicles or coverage — use the values above.
