The coastal town of Pondicherry is well known for the French quarters and the road leading to it from Chennai is beautiful. For most part of the drive, you will have the sea on one side for company and interesting eateries along the way.
You will drive quite a bit through the dense forest. Not only do you get to soak in the wild, raw landscape but you might also come across deer, elephants and other animals nonchalantly crossing the road.
Odisha has many picturesque places and the less travelled roads leading to them are pretty as a picture. The Puri-Konark highway makes for a scenic drive along the sea coast. The canopy formed by the trees on either side of the road, the misty breeze, clear blue skies and the idyllic beauty will delight your senses.
