Begin your journey by exploring the charm and history of the French Boulevard. Start from Rock Beach, which offers a scenic view of the Bay of Bengal. Slowly but surely, walk through the French Consulate, The Governor's Palace and end up at Aurobindo Ashram.
Aurobindo Ashram is a spiritual community to explore your inner peace through meditation and spiritual practices. It is a perfect place to take a break from the city's hustle and bustle and revitalize yourself.
Start your day in Puducherry by ambling around the magnificent structure of Sri Aurobindo Handmade Paper Factory. It is a mesmerizing display of the incredible potential of paper. The factory produces numerous recycled products using cotton waste, crane feathers, and silk threads.
Take a short walk to the Mahatma Gandhi Statue. It is a massive statue that reminds us of the Father of the Nation's principles and ideals. From there, move to JN Street, which is a popular shopping hub comprising international brands and local shops.
If you have more time, check out the artistic heritage of the city by visiting Bharathi Park, Pondicherry Museum, and Eglise de Notre Dame des Agnes. For adventurous travellers, Paradise Beach is a prime destination for sunbathing, swimming and catching the waves. As for the food, add Surguru or Punjabi Dhaba to enjoy a delightful food experience at any time. If you’re short on time, skip JN Street and explore more of Aurobindo Ashram and its surroundings.
