Madurai To Ooty And Masinagudi Luxury Caravan Adventure Tour

Day 1: Madurai to Ooty (The Journey is the Destination)
For a trip of this nature, the itinerary needs two key adjustments:

1. Vehicle Confirmation: The tour operator (Madurai/Rengha Holidays) must specially source or partner for this size and type of vehicle.
2. Accommodation: If the caravan has sleeping facilities, you would need designated “Caravan Parks” or safe, authorized parking spots for the night, rather than traditional hotel bookings in Ooty/Masinagudi.
