Rather if you walkover to Tirisulam station which has a pedestrian subway connected to the airport and travel to Tambaram by suburban. So it would be about 2 to 2.30 hours in chennai itself. But consider this, whatever the mode of travel(metro/cab/bus) you would take about 45 minutes to reach CMBT another 30min or so to board the bus and another one hour or so to exit chennai. Would they be too crowded by the time they reach the Airport area?Ĭonsidering your time of arrival AC bus requirement is understandable. How frequent are buses on this route around 10.30AM to 11.30AM?Ĥ. I suppose I can avoid going to CMBT since I am not keen on the ECR route?Ģ. Which is the bus terminal nearest to Chennai Airport from where I can get a bus to Pondicherry (Tindivanm route).
Need to travel to Pondicherry from Chennai Airport by Bus. Requesting inputs from BHPians familiar with Chennai-Pondicherry. Added bonus - you could spot some Kollywood celebrities! The pool at Savera is also one of the best if you intend to wet yourself in the Chennai heat, but don't forget to carry your swimming gear as they are very strict about it! Also, they do not provide towels at the pool, you need to carry it from your room. Also, vegetarian breakfast is just too good at The Hotel New Woodlands next door.
If you are put up at Savera, try the Khaidi Kitchen which is a theme-based restaurant bang opposite. The dampener could be the time you hit the OMR as this is THE IT EXPRESSWAY of Chennai! You will be traveling against the traffic though, still all the signals might slow you down! Yes this is one route, but the shortest would be continue on the OMR to reach TIDEL Park-Madhya Kailash(Take a Left and then a U-Turn next to Cancer Institute)-Adyar Signal-Adyar Bridge-Take left after DrMGRJanaki College-Immediate Right onto Abhiramapuram Main Road-Take Left and join TTK Road-Music Academy Signal-Right turn to Savera. From there take a right towards Chrompet - St Thomas Mt - Kathipara - Anna Salai all the way upto Gemini Flyover and turn right onto Cathedrial road. So that would mean I can take the ECR upto Kovalam - turn left towards Kelambakkam and continue towards Vandalur.
