For Sabarimala pilgrims KSRTC will be operating buses to Pampa from the station premises once the season commences. Buses will be there to Erumely also for the pilgrims who wished to visit Erumely before Sabarimala. If your gang has around 30 plus members you can even ask for separate KSRTC bus and if feasible/available you will be granted.😊
