Accommodation and annadanam
Use official information for room availability and booking. Free meal arrangements and serving hours can vary; locate the designated Annadana Mandapam and follow the volunteers’ instructions. Do not assume an old room tariff or a fixed capacity is current.
Medical help and assistance
Identify the nearest staffed assistance point before the walk. If unwell, stop and seek help rather than continuing to keep up with the group. Agree on a meeting point and carry offline emergency contact details.
Current arrangements
The linked official facilities page is a starting point, not a live occupancy or service feed. Check current notices and local signs for the facilities operating on your visit.
