You should join with other people who are performing girivalam. If you are staying at an Ashram or Hotel while at Tiruvannamalai, ask around and make arrangements to go in a group with others. <br /><br />Also don't take valuables with you when performing girivalam.

Some people choose to fast in preparation for Girivalam, others stop at hotels during their walk for beverages and/or food.
