₹700

1 way / person

Cheapest listed route is Puducherry → Auroville by cab. Return for two works out to about ₹2,800 — so a whole trip lands near ₹10,159 for two, travel included.

Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Auroville's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
