Frequently Asked Questions (Q&A)
Q: Is it safe for large 53-seater Volvo buses to go to Maharaja Mettu?
A: Due to narrow hairpin bends, large Volvo buses are restricted to the plains (Suruli Falls/Cumbum). For the climb to Maharaja Mettu, we provide Luxury Urbania or Tempo Traveller transfers from the base.
Q: Can we visit the Grapes Garden year-round?
A: Yes! Cumbum is one of the few places in the world where grapes are harvested three times a year, so there is always greenery to see.
Q: Does Rengha Travels provide pickup from Madurai?
A: Yes, we provide seamless pickups from Madurai Airport/Railway Station, Theni, and Dindigul.
