Important notes
A 4-day private itinerary. Longer versions add stops rather than padding existing days.,Puducherry is four separate regions in three states: Puducherry and Karaikal in Tamil Nadu, Mahe in Kerala, Yanam in Andhra Pradesh. Pondicherry to Mahe is about 600 km and to Yanam about 700, so routes combining them include the drive and are not day hops.
