Buses from Rajasthan traveling to Kerala fall mainly into two categories. One set of buses caters to pilgrims, while the other transports regular passengers.

The high number of pilgrims in Kerala and the significance of travel from Rajasthan to Kerala contribute to the smooth functioning of these buses.
