Travelling Guidance

1. Those who come from outside Kerala can get down at Kayamkulam railway station, which is near to Amritapuri campus and get taxi/ Auto rickshaw to come to the Ashram (Parayakadavu) or college (Vallikkavu). Such of those parents and wards who want to seek temporary accommodation in the Ashram (before hostel admission) can come straight to the Ashram and approach Accomodation Counter. 
2. For B.Tech. girls only, the Nila Hostel at College side is at about 15 minutes walking distance from Ashram (across the walking bridge on backwaters). Alternatively, if vehicle is needed, Autorickshaws are available for hire (a round-about travelling distance of about 4 km to reach hostel).
3. Parking instructions: Since parking space is very limited at Ashram, those who are coming in vehicles are requested to park them outside Ashram at the Parayakadavu Bus stop area only.
4. B.Tech. girls with parents who don’t need Ashram accommodation can come directly to Nila Girls hostel at college side. Parking space is available nearby.
