Where else would you rather begin your tour in the “FRENCH RIVIERA IN THE EAST”  than an exclusive heritage tour in the French Quarter of the old town?

As a tropical beach paradise with white sand beaches, clear blue skies and lovely weather, Pondicherry is home to some serene beach retreats that offer you a laid-back relaxing time for the perfect beach holiday.

Enjoying a beach retreat is an absolute must in Pondicherry.

A unique experimental township named after the famous spiritual guru, Sri Aurobindo, AUROVILLE is located 11 kms away from the city center on the boundary of TAMIL NADU and PONDICHERRY.

Open to men and women of all faiths, colors, and nations, the town is conceived by Mirra Alfassa ( “the Mother”) and Roger Anger as an embodiment of the vision of SRI AUROBINDO (1872-1950 AD).

A spiritual community founded by Sir Aurobindo who settled down in Pondicherry in 1910, the Ashram (spiritual commune) that is now named after him is an important center of meditation, yoga, self-discovery and inner growth.

A spiritual sojourn at the Ashram is an important Pondicherry experience.

A fusion of French culinary tradition with that of the indigenous Tamil Nadu food culture, the gastronomic delights of Pondicherry are legendary.

When you are in town, do not forget to sample Baguettes and French pastries, popular seafood like Fish Fry, Prawn Biryani and Chettinad-style crab and French-Indian fusion dishes like Meen Kuzhambu (fish curry), Bouillabaisse (seafood stew) and Ratatouille with an Indian twist.

Unveil the heritage of Pondicherry with Heritage Walks to the Sacred Heart Basilica, Arulmigu Manakula Vinayagar Devasthanam Temple, Sri Aurobindo Ashram, Immaculate Conception Cathedral, Puducherry Museum, French War Memorial and many other historical sites that dot the city.

Also known as the Osudu or Chunnambar Backwaters, the 800 hectors OUSTERI LAKE located between Pondicherry and Tamil Nadu, built by the French is famous for its biodiversity and bird watching and has been declared a Bird Sanctuary by the Government of India.

Home to 40 prominent bird species (like Greater Flamingos, Pied Avocet, Egrets, Storks and Black Tailed Godwit), the OUSTERI LAKE is a birdwatcher’s paradise.
