Chellam Trading Travels

Our office is situated at No. 4 Puthupetai Eripatha Nayanar Street. We are right opposite the Palay bus stand in Palayamkottai, which is a very convenient spot. Because we are so close to the bus stand, there is always a lot of movement outside our door. People are constantly rushing to catch their buses or arriving in town. We handle a mix of trading work and travel arrangements from this small building. Inside, it’s a bit of a tight squeeze with the desks and the chairs for customers. We have some old maps on the walls and a few calendars from previous years that we never took down. The noise from the buses idling across the street is something we’ve just gotten used to over time. Sometimes the smell of diesel comes into the office if the wind is blowing the right way. We spend our days talking to people about their travel plans or checking on the goods we are trading. It’s a very practical business. We don't use any fancy booking systems, just some notebooks and a phone that rings quite often. Palayamkottai is a busy place and being on Eripatha Nayanar Street puts us right in the thick of it. We keep the overhead fan going all day to deal with the humidity. It’s just a regular local shop where we try to keep things moving as best as we can.
