Pudhucherry can be accessed through Chennai Airport while Yanam is about 200 Kms. from Vishakapatnam Airport.

Karaikal can be reached from Tiruchirapalli airport which is 75 kms from Karaikal.

Mahe can be reached from Calicut Airport which is 70 Kms. from Mahe.

The total area of all the regions is around 492 Sq.Kms.

“ I like coming here because Pudhucherry is a pleasant place, and a peaceful place in this turbulent world.
