Start your beach day by soaking up the sun and waters at two of Pondicherry's famous beaches: Serenity Beach and Promenade Beach. Serenity Beach provides a quieter, more serene environment, while Promenade Beach offers a more lively atmosphere with vendors, street performers and is a great spot to catch the sunrise.
Experience the unique cultural blend of Pondicherry with a visit to French Quarter followed by a scrumptious meal at any of the top-rated local restaurants. Some good options are: La Villa, Cafe des Arts, and Baker Street.
End your trip with some adrenaline-pumping activities with a day trip to the Ousteri Lake for kayaking or a visit to the Bodhi Woods Tree House Cottages for zip-lining & rappelling in the middle of a serene bamboo forest.
If you have more time, you can visit the Immaculate Conception Cathedral or take a tour of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram to delve deeper into Pondicherry's rich culture and history. For a more relaxed time, you can visit the Auroville Beach to unwind. However, if you're short on time, you can skip the tree house cottages and opt for a visit to Pondy Bazaar - a bustling street market in the heart of the city.
