| Delhi - Tirupati - Rameshwaram - Madurai - Kanyakumari - Delhi Not all could be covered by trains. Few problems Only one train from Tirupati to Rameshwaram (6734) on Thurdays Only one train from Rameshwarm to Madurai (6733) on Fridays Only two trains from Kanyakumari to Delhi (2641) on Wednesdays and (6317) on Fridays. A few places would have to be covered by bus / taxi |

| Or after Tirupati, try making it Chennai, halt and plan. You can plan better with more travel options. Madurai: College house, just opposite the railway station, walkable. if you don't like it or it's full, Town Hall road has more Hotels in the same place Rameshwaram, Main temple street has lots, choose any one with A/C if you plan to stay for more than a day. Flies, there are lots of them. Auto fare from rail station to hotel will cost you about 40

| Would second that. Chennai is around 150 kms from Tirupati and there are 2 trains (6101) leaving at 19:55 and (6703) leaving at 17:00 running daily to Rameswaram |

| You should try and get to Tanjore, to see the awesome Brihadeshwara temple, a World Heritage site. |
