Self drive car & bike rental in Manavalakurichi

Getting a vehicle in Manavalakurichi

Manavalakurichi is about 22 km from our base in Nagercoil, and we deliver rather than asking you to come and collect. Give us the address and a time; the vehicle arrives with its papers, a full tank noted down and the KM reading written in front of you.

The coast road through here is shared with fishing traffic and it is at its worst early, when the catch is moving. Inland the roads are quieter and the run to Nagercoil is faster that way even though it looks longer on a map. The beach itself is open and windy, good for an evening walk and not much use for swimming -- the current along this stretch is strong and the locals do not go in casually, which is the best guidance a visitor can take.
