The practice before the current Pilgrimage season was that all the buses, and other private vehicles will reach Triveny Pamba, and park vehicles in parking spaces and roadsides around Pamba. This used to create conjustion and since all the buses of KSRTC reaching Pamba, bus parking was a problem previously for KSRTC. Now, this year onwards all private vehicles will stop at Nilakkal the base camp, 17 km away from Pamba and KSRTC operates chain service between Pamba and Nilakkal. Hence now no additonal space is required.
