    Chennai has an international airport which directly connects to the highway to Pondicherry.Chennai airport is 135 kms from Pondicherry and flights connect to major cities in India and directly to destinations in Europe, Asian, Middle East and the US. Direct flights from Europe are by British Airways, Lufthansa and Sabena.

    Other airlines fly to Mumbai (Bombay) and New Delhi and will arrange a connecting domestic flight to Chennai. Air Lanka flies via Colombo Gulf Air and Saudi Air fly to and from the Middle east. Asia, the Pacific and the US are connected through Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines.

    It is preferred to come directly to Chennai, if that is the port of landing into India. Transiting through other airports can created problems and delays, especially for a first time traveller to India.



    Pondicherry is connected by rail to Villupuram (36 kms), which connects to Chennai and Madurai/Trivandrum. The trains to and from Pondy are slow and few. Another way is to take a train from Bangalore to Cuddalore.



    Pondicherry is best accessible by road from Chennai, Bangalore and even from Kerala.
    The best choice for getting to Pondy from Chennai (150 km) and Bangalore (320 km) is by taxi or bus. Buses depart from Chennai at the Tamil Nadu State Express Bus Stand at Parry's Corner on a regular basis and it takes about four hours to reach Pondy's bus stand. If you have a choice of buses, the East Coast Road is more scenic than National Highway 45 through Tindivanam.
