If you are flying
What the road asks of you
This route crosses into Puducherry
Leaving Kerala for Puducherry means a state permit. Whether you pay it depends on the fare you pick: a toll-included fare has it inside, and nothing is collected at the border; the cheaper fare leaves it out, and it is handed over at the checkpost. The amount is set by Puducherry, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.
A round trip here is billed by the day, not the kilometre
A return journey is charged for at least 300 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 316 km each way, so 632 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 900 km. On a short trip that floor is most of the fare, and two one-way journeys can work out cheaper — worth comparing both before you book.
All the way on the coast road
The whole drive is on the East Coast Road, with the sea on one side most of the way. Auroville is just outside Pondicherry and easy to add on the way.
If you are going to CMC, say which campus
Christian Medical College has its main hospital in Vellore town and a separate campus at Ranipet, on the highway before Vellore when coming from Chennai. Tell the driver which one; it is the most common wrong drop on this route.
What is there
The French Quarter
The grid of mustard-walled streets between the canal and the sea.
Promenade Beach
The seafront walk, closed to traffic in the evenings. Rock, not sand.
Sri Aurobindo Ashram
The ashram in the White Town that much of the quarter grew around.
Auroville
The experimental township and its Matrimandir, north of the city.
Paradise Beach
The sand spit south of town, reached by boat across the backwater.
Worth knowing before you go
- The seafront in town is rock, not sand — the swimming beaches are out of the centre.
- Auroville's Matrimandir needs a pass booked ahead; the grounds alone do not.
- It is a Union Territory, so the state line matters for a cab's permit either way.
