— The Route
About the Chennai–Pondicherry drive
Chennai to Pondicherry on the East Coast Road is arguably south India's most scenic drive — the Bay of Bengal flashing between casuarina groves, with Mahabalipuram's shore temples a natural halfway stop.
The French Quarter's cafés and Auroville make this the definitive weekend run from Chennai. We recommend an early start to fit Mahabalipuram in without rushing the second half.
