Driving in Auroville: what to expect

Auroville sits in Tamil Nadu, which is mostly coast. Here is what that means when you actually drive here:

Monsoon spray and standing water are the two real hazards on the Auroville coast. Slow down and keep lights on.

Coastal roads near Auroville are usually well surfaced but can be narrow through the villages, so SUVs give extra comfort.

Beach-side parking is limited in peak season around Auroville. Arrive early or book a car with a driver for the day.
