Why hire a car with a driver here
Trichy, or Tiruchirappalli, is a temple city on the Kaveri, with Srirangam, the Rockfort and Thiruvanaikaval all within a short drive. The roads to these temples are busy and parking is tight on festival days. A car with a local driver drops you close to the gates and waits while you visit. Trichy is also the natural base for Thanjavur's Big Temple, Kumbakonam and the Navagraha temples, and a driver who knows these routes and timings makes a pilgrimage far easier.
