All by yourself, the drive to Pondicherry might be a bit of a drag. So, book yourself you a berth on a train to the seaside town. There are only a couple of trains that ply to and fro from the city so make sure that you book well in advance. The train journey is pretty convenient since you can catch on a full night’s sleep and arrive in Pondy early in the morning, ready to rock your holiday. If the Pondy trip idea has germinated at the last minute, the bus is your best bet. RedBus offers plenty of options so all you need to do is a quick booking and show up at your pick up spot. Want to get there in a hurry? Then, SpiceJet offers flights too.
In Pondicherry, you can hire out bicycles and two-wheelers. Most hotels also offer taxi offers which is ideal if you want to stay away from the glaring sun.
