RE:

Hi Koteswara Rao,
First of all ,there is no direct train to Pampa . The route which you have to adopt for the pilgrimage would be like this
 
 Book your train tickets in any of the following trains
Train Train Name  0635 KOCHUVELI EXP  0657 KOCHUVELI EXP  2516 GHY TVC EXPRESS  2623 TRIVANDRUM MAIL  2695 TRIVANDRUM EXP  2697 TRIVANDRUM EXP 6327 KRBA TVC EXPRES
 
Alight at Chengannur Railway station ( in some Express trains there will not be any stop at Chengannur in that case alight at Kottayam Railway station . From chengannur there will be Buses ( Both State transport bus and private buses ) To Pampa .
 
Happy Pilgrimage!!!
