Start your day at the serene Sri Aurobindo Ashram, a spiritual center founded by Sri Aurobindo and his spiritual collaborator Mirra Alfassa. Walk around the ashram, explore the library, and attend a meditation session.
Next, head to Auroville, a unique experimental township that focuses on sustainable living and spiritual values. Visit the Matri Mandir, a beautiful golden dome that represents the spiritual center of Auroville, and learn about the town's history and philosophy at the Visitors Center.
Take a day to relax and soak up the sun at Paradise Beach, a serene and secluded beach that can only be reached by boat. Enjoy swimming, sunbathing, and beach games with your family.
Afterwards, visit the nearby Chunnambar Boat House for a scenic boat ride. Take a peddle boat or a motor boat for an hour-long tour to see the backwaters of Pondicherry and admire the lush scenery.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Basilica of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Pondicherry Museum. For a food adventure, try some of the local delicacies like seafood at Sur La Mer or crepes at La Creperie.
If you have less time, you can skip visiting Auroville and spend a relaxing day at Paradise Beach or explore the city's charming French Quarter.
