Traveling between Kozhikode and Pondicherry offers a variety of convenient options to suit your preferences, schedule, and budget. Whether you prioritize affordability, speed, or comfort, you’re sure to find the perfect way to travel without compromising on quality or convenience.

Useful tips for train travellers
• Onboard services for the trains running from Kozhikode to Pondicherry typically include catering services that offer pre-packaged meals and beverages. Look out for ‘IRCTC’ sponsored meal services which often provide vegetarian and non-vegetarian options on long-distance trains. Pre-booking meals through the 'RailRestro' website may also enhance your experience.
• The train options on this route generally include Sleeper Class, Third AC, and Second AC. If you're looking for comfort, opt for the Second AC (2AC) which provides air conditioning and more privacy with curtains. Sleeper Class offers more economical seating but can be crowded, especially on weekends or holidays. Keep in mind that First Class and Business Class are not commonly available on this route.

You can check schedules and book tickets at IRCTC and KRDC’s official site. Useful links also include Pondicherry Bus Services for local transport schedules and Pondicherry Railway Station for station maps and facilities.
Useful tips for bus travellers
• Plan your trip to include a potential layover in Tindivanam, as there are no direct buses from Kozhikode to Puducherry; you’ll need to check the schedules of operators like Kerala State Road Transport Corporation and Parveen Travels for effective transfers.
• Bring snacks and water for the almost 15-hour journey; while some buses may have basic refreshments, it's always best to have your own supply for comfort, especially since the route passes through areas with limited food options.
• Upon arrival at the Tindivanam bus station, look for signs guiding you to local taxis and auto-rickshaws; it's about a 35 km ride to Pondicherry city, so confirm fares and ensure to have cash handy as not all drivers may accept digital payments.
