Velankanni, on the Tamil Nadu coast south of Nagapattinam, is home to the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health -- one of the most visited Marian shrines in India, drawing pilgrims of every faith in large numbers, and particularly during the annual feast in early September, when the town's population multiplies many times over for ten days. Visitors also come for its beach and for the calm the town keeps outside festival season.

Velankanni has no railway station or airport of its own; Nagapattinam, 12 km away, and Thanjavur, roughly 90 km away, are the nearest connections most people arrive through, which makes a car for the final approach a near-necessity rather than an option. Velankanni is 350 km from Chennai, 250 km from Tiruvannamalai and 165 km from Trichy. During the September feast, book well ahead -- both cars and hotel rooms in the town sell out.

Which places can I visit in and around Velankanni?

Velankanni Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health. Hiring the car for the day rather than booking a single drop is usually the better choice if you are visiting more than one, since temples and monuments here close through the middle of the day and a waiting car saves a second booking.

Do you provide airport transfers from Velankanni?

Yes. Airport runs are the most common early-morning booking we take, and they are priced as a normal one-way drop with the night allowance shown separately when the trip starts between 10 PM and 6 AM. Tell us the flight time rather than the pickup time and we will work backwards from it.

What is the distance from Chennai to Velankanni?

Is there a minimum distance for a one-way drop taxi from Velankanni?
