Early start
The driver is at your door at five, and by the time the city wakes the car is well up the expressway. Auroville is about 445 km away, roughly eight hours by car with halts, so you can arrive the same evening. If you plan a palace visit on the day you come back, note that it opens about ten and closes about half past five, and shoes are left outside. Light cotton clothes suit the coast; pack a hat and sunglasses.
Tea on the old road
Ninety minutes up the expressway the car leaves it at the Channapatna exit for a cup of tea on the old highway. Toy shops stand shoulder to shoulder there, and the town's lacquer work has a GI tag; a painted top or a small puzzle makes an easy gift for friends on the coast. Some shops also sell lacquered bangles. Fifteen minutes, then the car carries on to the city edge, where NICE Road begins.
State line
Electronic City, the Attibele toll, and then the Tamil Nadu border: near Hosur the driver stops for ten minutes to pay the state entry tax for the cab. Hosur is a busy industrial town, but the land around it grows roses and vegetables, and in season you will see flower sellers on the verge. Rajaji's birthplace memorial at Thorapalli is close by for history buffs. Then NH44 continues towards Krishnagiri.
Turn towards the coast
Krishnagiri is where the car turns off for the coast: NH77 runs from here through Tiruvannamalai to Puducherry, and Auroville lies just north of it. Mango stalls crowd the junction in summer. The KRP reservoir on the Thenpennai is about 10 km off, with fish stalls on its banks, a lunch idea on the return. Today a short stretch and a drink is enough, then the quieter two lane stretches begin.
Temple town lunch
Lunch is at Tiruvannamalai, about 335 km from Mysore, a town of good vegetarian restaurants. The Arunachaleswarar temple covers about 10 hectares, and its eastern gopuram rises eleven storeys, about 66 m. The rituals run from half past five in the morning to ten at night, so a short darshan after lunch is possible on a normal day. Full moon days bring huge crowds; avoid them. Gingee is about 40 km on.
Fort hills from the road
At Gingee the road runs beside the fort hills, and a ten minute photo stop is worth it. The fort spreads over three hills, the highest, Rajagiri, about 240 m; climbing it takes close to three hours up and down, so that is a separate day. Tea is sold by the road. From Gingee the car runs about an hour more to Auroville, through Tindivanam side roads towards the coast.
Drop at your stay
About 9 to 9.5 hours from Mysore by car. Auroville is a township about 12 km north of Pondicherry, off the East Coast Road, founded in 1968 by Mirra Alfassa, where about 3,300 people live today. The driver drops you at your guest house in Auroville or your hotel in Pondicherry. The settlements are spread out among trees, with quiet roads, so a car or rented cycle is handy. Silence is kept in its inner spaces, so plan visits calmly.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Auroville is about 445 km from Mysore, so about 890 km there and back. The cab takes the expressway past Channapatna, NICE Road and Hosur Road, NH44 to Krishnagiri, then NH77 through Tiruvannamalai and Gingee towards Puducherry. By car, plan on about eight hours with halts.
Auroville one way: on request, at ₹2 a km over the return rate, quoted in writing.
Toyota Etios or Innova Crysta. See cab rental in Mysore.
Yes, about 95 km up the coast road.
Auroville is about 445 km away; GST, tolls, parking and permits go on top at actuals.
Auroville: driving after 10 pm adds the driver night allowance, ₹400 a night.
November to February is pleasant on the coast. October and November bring the northeast monsoon, with heavy rain around Tiruvannamalai and Puducherry, and April to June is hot and humid. In winter the drive through Tiruvannamalai and Gingee is comfortable and the evenings by the sea are cool.
Yes. Tiruvannamalai, about 335 km from Mysore, is a good night halt, with many hotels and vegetarian restaurants. You reach Auroville the next morning after about two hours, fresh, and the evening at Tiruvannamalai can include a visit to the big temple.
