Kochi (Cochin) To Velankanni

The visit to the holiest shrine of Our Lady.

From Chennai, always take the East Coast road also know as ECR route. Here is the advantage is of a smooth and safe drive by bus on the the very long stretch of coastal view. You can see the sea almost upto Pondicherry. The bus stops at a a terminal where the food is pretty okay. Travel warning is that take care of your belongings in the bus, don't leave it unattended and don't eat any food items offered by your co passenger no matter how harmless he or she looks. Wear minimum gold jewellery and carry your wallet in your front pocket and women should carry their purses in a their handbags.

A Holy Visit

Trains to and from Bangalore are weekly once. Buses do ply daily but very few and the quality isn't that great. One can go to Thanjavur by train and then by road to Velankanni. One can find daily trains to and from Thanjavur and Thanjavur is a place of historic importance.
