Puducherry travel tips
Go early for sunrise and the beach
Sunrise points get crowded by 6 AM on weekends — the driver can pick you up in the dark and have you there in time.
Monsoon runs from October to December
Heavy north-east monsoon showers can slow coastal roads; we keep a time buffer on airport and train connections during these months.
Book a day ahead for early starts
Pickups before 6 AM from Puducherry fill up fast on weekends and festival days — booking the evening before guarantees your driver.
Tolls and parking are actuals
Highway tolls, parking and inter-state permits are paid as they come and added to the final bill, exactly as on the receipts.
