Begin your trip with a relaxing stroll on the Promenade Beach, a picturesque beach surrounded by colonial buildings and palm trees. Take in the breathtaking sunset while listening to the sound of crashing waves. Also, you can taste the local street food at the promenade.
Immerse yourself in the spiritual and cultural hub of Pondicherry at Auroville. Get to know the community's heritage and values and explore the scenic Matri Mandir. Feel the divineness of the surroundings at this serene temple. To experience the culture, head to the boutiques, art galleries, and handicrafts.
Escape from the hustle and bustle of the city to the surreal Paradise Beach. Ride a ferry and reach this tropical heaven. Explore the French-influenced beachfronts and indulge in adventurous activities like kayaking and trekking. After that, you can grab some of the tasty seafood available.
For a more extensive tour of Pondicherry, add a visit to the Botanical Garden, Pondicherry Museum, and Sri Aurobindo Ashram. If you plan to stay longer, pick up a yoga or meditation class at any of the ashrams. For a glimpse of French heritage, head to the French Quarters and admire the architecture. If you have a shorter time, opt-out of Auroville and choose to explore the local markets and its culture.
