Bangalore to Pondicherry - Indian Roadie Preferred Route

Option 1: Bangalore - Krishnagiri - Vellore - Arcot - Cheyyar - Vandavasi - Tindivadam - Pondicherry. Arcot to Tindivadam is not in very good shape but there are no potholes. One may not be able to speed up beyond 80 kmph.
After Vellore, there's A2B Hotel, take right from next signal. It's the best pitstop for lunch break.

Option 2: Bangalore to Pondicherry route via Chitoor, Thiruvvanmalai (Thiruvannamali) route is scenic single road. There isn't much traffic, but about 30 kms stretch has potholes roadies need to watch out for. Till Chitoor roads are amazing. 
After that for around 30 kms, road repair work is going on but roads are mostly empty.  Thereafter, its double lane without median dividers for almost 130 kms but mostly empty and good roads.
This route is senic and ideal for those staying in North Bangalore.  Prefer to drive 50 kms more rather being stuck in ORR.  Takes approx 7 hrs including 2 breaks of 45 mins and 30 mins and 6 lane toll road. It also has more options for stopping along the way.
