Why stay with us when visiting Rockfort Temple
The streets around the Rockfort are lively but crowded and noisy at night. Ramalinga Nagar is a quiet residential area a short ride away, so you can climb the Rockfort in the cool morning, shop in Chinna Kadai Street and come back to a calm house.

- Climb the rock-cut steps early morning or near sunset, when the stone is cooler.
