Chennai to Velankanni is approximately 310 km via NH 32 and takes about seven hours along the Coromandel coast. The Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health, known as the “Lourdes of the East,” holds its 10-day annual festival beginning with a flag-hoisting ceremony, featuring novena prayers, concelebrated Masses, and Eucharistic blessings conducted throughout. Our one way drop taxi collects you from any Chennai address and drops you near the basilica.
The main event of the annual festival is the grand car procession on September 7, followed by a special Mass on September 8, the birthday of Mother Mary, with Masses held in Konkani, Malayalam, Telugu, Hindi, and Kannada. A one way drop suits travellers planning to continue from Velankanni to Nagapattinam, Thanjavur, or Kumbakonam after their visit.
Our outstation cab one-way service starts around ₹4,300 for a sedan, covering fuel and driver with tolls billed separately. The coastal route passes through Chengalpattu, Villupuram, Cuddalore, and Chidambaram, and our drivers know the reliable stops for meals and rest along the way.
Beyond the basilica, Velankanni offers the beach and the shrine complex, which is worth a slow walk in the evening. Choosing a one way taxi means you can attend the evening Mass and candlelight procession without a return driver waiting on the clock.
When planning a Velankanni pilgrimage, confirm the basilica's Mass timings and feast-day schedules in advance, as they vary through the year. Our Chennai to Velankanni drop taxi fleet covers sedans through Tempo Travellers for larger pilgrim groups. To arrange your journey, call +91 8807220270.
