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 250 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 334 km each way, so 667 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 750 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.

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.
