Hyderabad: The Telangana State Road Transport Corporation has announced special bus services to the Sabarimala Ayyappa Temple for the 2026–27 pilgrimage season, ensuring safe and convenient transportation for devotees travelling from Telangana to Kerala. Special services will operate across two key phases: the Mandala Pooja season from November 16 to December 27, and the Makara Vilakku season from December 30 to January 20, 2027.
TGSRTC also announced special incentives for organisers and pilgrims. An accompanying Guruswamy will receive free travel when booking a bus. If multiple buses are booked, free travel applies to one bus, while commission for remaining buses will be paid at Rs 350 per bus daily, matching ATB agents and corporation employees. Additionally, free travel without separate seats is permitted for two cooks, two Manikantas aged below 10 years, and one luggage attendant.
Furthermore, the Kerala government has exempted TGSRTC contract carriage buses operating to Sabarimala from border tax, supporting special pilgrimage arrangements.
