Start your day with a relaxing stroll in the Promenade Beach. You can take a lot of beautiful photos with the stunning sunrise on the eastern horizon, enjoying the sea breeze. If you want adrenaline, there are a bunch of water sports activities, including banana boat ride, Jet Ski, and much more.
Explore the spiritual side of Pondicherry through the Aurobindo Ashram, which was founded by Sri Aurobindo and his collaborator called The Mother. It is an oasis of peace in Pondicherry's bustling city life. The Ashram is open to visitors anytime from 8 am to 6 pm with free entry.
After touring the Ashram, it's time to indulge in some delicious food and drinks. La Villa serves a variety of fresh and scrumptious Continental cuisine. The beautiful garden courtyard and the cozy interior designed with antique furniture are eye-catching.
Head to Le Club, one of the memorable buildings of the French colony, and enjoy the picturesque view of the Bay of Bengal. You can spend some time swimming in the pool, or just chill with a couple of drinks at the bar. Make sure to put on your swimsuit if you want to dip in the pool.
After an exhausting party afternoon, it's time to relax in a cozy, comfortable place. Kasha ki Aasha is a popular Indian-style cafe and boutique that serves coffee, tea, smoothies, and snacks. You can lounge in their broad balcony while enjoying the sunset with a cup of coffee.
If you have more time, check out the art galleries and handicraft stores in White Town and French Colony. If you have less time, eliminate Kasha ki Aasha or Promenade Beach. To save money, opt for a local restaurant instead of La Villa or avoid water sports activities at Promenade Beach. Don't forget to carry sunblock and comfortable shoes.
