How does one get to Auroville from abroad?
A. A number of major airlines fly in to Madras/Chennai, the nearest major airport handling international flights. These include (alphabetically) Air India, Air Lanka, British Airways, Emirates, Gulf Air, Lufthansa, Malaysian Airlines, Oman Air, Sabena, Saudi Airlines and Singapore Airlines. Other package deals with less-known airlines may also be possible. From Madras/Chennai, it is best to take a taxi direct from the airport to Auroville, though there are also buses available to Pondicherry from where one can take a taxi or autorickshaw. If beforehand accommodation has been arranged for you via Auroville’s Guest Information Service, a taxi can be sent to pick you up from the airport.
