Leave Angamaly around 6:00 AM with the BE 6 charged and ready. Follow the route via Thrissur, Salem, Tiruchirappalli and Nagapattinam; allow roughly 11–13 hours door to door, including charging, food and traffic breaks. Plan CCS2 stops around Salem and Tiruchirappalli, checking live availability, connector compatibility and detours in your charging app before departure, and save a backup charger in each area. Keep a buffer for queues or a charger that’s out of service; charging costs may be around ₹2,000–₹4,000, depending on rates and how much you need to top up.
After checking in and parking, head to the Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health for prayer and a look around; allow 45–60 minutes, but make this conditional on your arrival time and the day’s shrine schedule. If you still have daylight and energy, take a brief 20–30-minute walk at Velankanni Beach, following local safety advice and staying clear of rough water. Finish with a simple meal at Hotel Sea Gate, near the shrine area; budget about ₹200–₹500 per person and check locally for current restaurant hours. With a long drive behind you, keep the evening flexible rather than counting on a full sightseeing visit.
Start around 5:00 AM at Our Lady’s Tank, near the shrine complex, for a quiet 20–30-minute visit. Then walk to Velankanni Beach for a short morning stroll; allow another 20–30 minutes, and keep to the firm sand near the entrance rather than wandering far from the car. These early stops leave some breathing room before the long drive, but check shrine access locally the evening before, as timings can vary.
Have a quick tiffin breakfast at a local restaurant near the shrine—budget about ₹100–₹250 per person—then aim to be on the road by roughly 6:45–7:00 AM. The planned route is via Nagapattinam, Tiruchirappalli, Salem and Thrissur; allow around 11–13 hours including breaks and charging, so expect to reach Angamaly in the evening. Before setting off, check live CCS2 charger status and range in your routing app, with a primary and backup charging option around both Tiruchirappalli and Salem. Allow roughly ₹2,000–₹4,000 for charging, depending on rates and consumption, and don’t stretch a charging stop if the next charger’s status is uncertain.
