Pondicherry is an old French colonial settlement in south India and is a popular destination for travellers that explore the country. Its combination of spiritual ambience, unspoilt stretch of beaches, and exceptional cuisine offer exciting activities to all types of travellers.
If you’re arriving at Chennai Airport, you can easily reach Poncicherry either by taxi or train. Airport taxis are available at the airport 24/7 but pre-booking your private airport transfer in advance will help you skip the lines and have a driver waiting for you. The journey takes about 3 hours and you’ll reach your destination in comfort. If you’re travelling on a budget and you’re looking for the cheapest option, then you can also take the train connecting Pondicherry to Chennai Airport. The journey takes about 4 hours, depending on if it’s the express route or the one that goes through a nearby city; either way, you can enjoy the unique scenery along the way.
