Start the tour with a relaxing walk by the Promenade Beach, overlooking the Bay of Bengal. One can watch the sunrise or sunset, take a stroll, or enjoy a cup of coffee at the nearby cafes.
Head to Auroville Beach, a quiet and serene beach that is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, and relaxing. You can take a dip in the sea or enjoy the beautiful view and surroundings. Do visit the famous café, Bread and Chocolate, for a delicious breakfast before you start your day.
Take a trip to the Raj Niwas, the official residence of the Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry. The site is built with the perfect blend of French and Indian architecture and is surrounded by well-maintained gardens. One can visit the art gallery, explore the museum, and witness the sound and light show that takes place in the evening.
If you have more time, then you can visit the nearby Arikamedu Archaeological Site. It is an ancient port that dates back to the 2nd century. If you have less time, then you can skip the Pondicherry Museum - though it's a great place to learn about the history and culture of the region.
