Distance and travel time: Trichy to Velankanni
The usual road goes east via Thanjavur, Thiruvarur and Nagapattinam, approx. 145–155 km, and takes approx. 3–3.5 hours. During the annual feast, from 29 August to 8 September, traffic and parking near the Basilica are much heavier, so allow extra time.
Distances and times are approximate: road routing between the city centres (OSRM, OpenStreetMap data), checked on 30 October 2026 and rounded for typical traffic. The real time depends on traffic, weather, stops and the road the driver takes.
Vehicles you can ask for
A Sedan or Hatchback suits families of up to four. For a larger family with luggage, ask for an SUV or Innova. Parish and prayer groups can ask for a Tempo Traveller, Mini Bus or Bus; in the feast season these are in high demand, so post your enquiry well ahead.

Vehicle preference is subject to partner availability. Partners with the vehicle you ask for respond only if they are free for your date.
One-way or round trip
Choose Outstation Round Trip for a same-day visit and return, entering the return time and how long you want to stay for Mass or prayers. Choose Outstation One Way if you are staying in Velankanni. To stop on the way, for example at the Brihadeeswarar temple in Thanjavur, choose Multi-City Outstation or write it in the notes.
Pickup and drop
Common pickup points are Trichy airport, Tiruchirappalli Junction railway station, the bus stands and home addresses in Trichy and Srirangam. Drops are usually lodges near the Basilica or the shrine parking area. Agree the meeting point for the return with the driver, as the area near the shrine gets crowded.
